An Open Letter to DC Public School Officials

In response to the Washington, DC, school district's decision to restructure 26 schools, CEP offers advice based on its work “in schools in restructuring in California, Maryland, and Michigan,” “studies of schools in restructuring in Georgia and Ohio, as well as a report that reviews the findings of … restructuring studies across all five states.” The “five key lessons” outlined in this letter “come from examining data related to restructuring in those five states as well as detailed case studies of 19 districts and 42 restructuring schools within those districts.”
