Extractions: site index ED.gov Developments in School Finance, 1997- Does Money Matter? The District of Columbia Financial Authority was created by the U.S. Congress in 1995 to repair the District of Columbias failing financial condition and to improve the management effectiveness of government agencies. The Authority has identified public education, along with public safety and some activities in public works, as priority areas. In November 1996, the Authority overhauled the governance and administration of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). After issuing a scathing report on the quality and management of the Districts schools, the Authority removed the superintendent and stripped the Board of Education of most of its power to control the schools. In their place, the Authority appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and an Emergency Board of Trustees to run and oversee the schools. This article describes the condition of the Districts public schools that caused the Authority to take such a bold action. Next, it outlines the unique nature of the financing of the Districts public schools, and then briefly discusses higher education in the District and the Authoritys efforts to address problems at the University of the District of Columbia.

Extractions: Superintendent, District of Columbia Public Schools INTRODUCTION According to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, "No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, ornatlonal origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of; or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial asslstance." Related Federal Regulations state, "School systems are responsible for assuring that students of a particular race, color, or national origin are not denied the opportunity to obtain the education generally obtained by other students in the system" (33 Federal Register, 4956). This law has been specifically interpreted as applying to school children classified as non- or limited-English proficient (NEP/LEP) by reason of having an other-than-English home language background. Such a condition is held to preclude the student from an equal learning opportunity in an all-English-medium classroom ( Lau vs. Nichols

Extractions: Charter Schools in District of Columbia Law: Passed in 1996 Rank : 3rd strongest of the nation's 40 charter laws CER Grade : A Schools Students GET THE FACTS: Charters have not yet been formally evaluated as to their progress in advancing the education of the least educated District children, who come from the regular public schools.... In the meantime, parents - the child's first teacher-have spoken loudly, enrolling more than 15% of their children in charters. That voting with their feet ought to count for something. SCORE: Washington, DC boasts one of the strongest charter laws in the nation. With 39 charter schools, and 15% of the student population in charter schools, its success and health underscore the benefits of strong laws. The District, like many states, has its share of challenges with the usual bureaucratic tinkering, but DCs crop has an open hearing from the Districts two chartering authorities, has permitted parents and companies to run schools, is given a substantial amount of funding and is autonomous from government entities.

Extractions: Community Academy Public Charter School The first school visited was The Community Academy Public Charter in Northwest, DC, with Fonda Sutton, the school’s director and Kent Amos, founder of The Urban Family Institute and driving force behind the Academy. Amos gave the philosophical background for the school’s creation, which comes from his experience with the violence and crime that claimed the lives of several of the children who he has mentored and taken into his family. Amos is committed to "creating a world where children plan for college, not for funerals." In his charter school, children are respected for their abilities, helped with special needs and encouraged to achieve. According to Amos, the school has to look at the substantive difference between how they educate a child and how they prepare him/her to be a citizen in their community. The Community Academy is a neighborhood-based, multiple campus charter that offers primary through secondary education. Next year they will add another site in another location within the city. Currently a Pre K-7 grade school, the Academy is preparing to accept classes of students that will bring enrollment to 4,000, up to grade twelve. A nine-member board of community members monitors the school. The school seeks to offer children a ‘nurturing village’ experience by including social services and education to family members. Sponsors of the Academy hope to create a neighborhood in which "families have the resources necessary to realize their potential, individually and collectively." This goal, they believe will best allow a child to reach his/her full potential and become a responsible adult who actively pursues lifelong learning opportunities.
