The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education (DME) is currently undertaking the 2023 School Boundary and Student Assignment Study.
The goals of the study include:
(1) ensure students have clear assignments to schools of right based on DCPS attendance zones and feeder pathways;
(2) ensure adequate capacity in the geographically zoned DCPS facilities at each grade level; and
(3) Create equitable access among District students to high-quality public schools.
The DME’s study includes an advisory committee, a series of public townhalls, and school-specific engagements. The Advisory Committee will submit final recommendations to the Mayor in winter 2023-24. Those recommendations will inform future school planning work done by DCPS.
Following virtual townhalls held on May 16th and 17th, DME is asking families, school communities, and residents to complete a survey to identify principles to guide decision making. Please complete this survey by Monday, May 29, 2023.
