Hello Ward 5!
On Thursday, June 12th, the Deputy Mayor for Education and the Advisory Committee for the Student Assignment and School Boundaries review process released the Draft Student Assignment Policy Proposal. Last October the process that led to this draft proposal began and since that time has been informed by a host of education stakeholders, parents, community members and experts. Prior to this process, the student assignment policy and school boundaries had not been reviewed and revised since the 1960s.
Now is your time to further inform this process by giving feedback. On Tuesday, June 17th a community meeting regarding this draft proposal will be held at Dunbar High School (101 N St. NW) from 6-8pm. At this session you will be able to gain more in depth information regarding the draft proposal and provide your feedback. Public engagement and input into this process is imperative.
Can't make the June 17th meeting? In addition to the community meeting on June 17th you can email your concerns and questions to dme.studentassignment@dc.gov, call their office at 202-478-5738, or visit the DME's website at http://dme.dc.gov/page/advisory-committee-draft-proposal-and-boundaries-june-2014
Lastly, the Washington Post has also developed and shared a great interactive map tool that is a resource to understand the impact of this process. That tool can be found at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/local/proposed-school-zones/.
Let your voice be heard, join the conversation! We hope to see you at the community meeting on Tuesday!
