RE: [WardFive] Tomorrow: Committee on Education Roundtable - Setting Teachers Up for Success

This was a good hearing.   Long teacher witness list (55); of the 55 teachers representing the different DCPS and DCPCS entities citywide, the following Ward 5 schools heard teacher testimonies:

Browne Ed. Campus

Dunbar SH

Burroughs EC (only ANC 5B school)

Wheatley Ed. Campus

McKinley SH

Phelps SH

Friendship Public Charter School

DC Prep (not sure whether this is the Edgewood campus)

A retired DCPS math teacher (also a Ward 5 resident) testified

 

The hearing started at 10am; I left at 1:15pm with only half the witnesses list completed.    CM Grosso is on this education committee and stayed roughly an hour. CM Orange stopped by briefly.  ANC 5B was the only other Ward 5 entity I saw in attendance.

 

Very kind regards,

WHAT IS AN ANC?

The Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) are locally elected bodies which shall advise the Council of the District of Columbia, the Mayor and each executive agency, the Government of the District of Columbia, all independent agencies, boards and commissions with respect to all proposed matters of District of Columbia governmental policy including but not limited to decisions regarding planning, streets, recreation, social service programs, education, health, safety, and sanitation which affect the Commission area.  In each of these areas, the intent of the ANC legislation is to ensure input from an advisory board that is made up of the residents of the neighborhoods that are directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of government with the closest official ties to the citizens in a neighborhood.  Commissioners serve without compensation.  See PL 93-198 and DCL 1-21, as amended.
