COVID-19: What You Should Know

On March 11, 2020, Mayor Bowser declared a state of emergency in the District regarding COVID-19.  It’s important that we as a city have a unified response to this health emergency.  That is why we are working closely with the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor of Education and DC Health about the most appropriate actions to take.  We will be communicating these steps with the leadership at each public charter school.
