These reports ensure that public charter schools operating residential programs provide a secure living environment that protects the health and safety of all students, as required by DC Code § 38–1802.04(c)(4). Residential programs are visited annually and consist of:
An interview with the personnel directly responsible for the residential programming and facility
A walkthrough of the school's residentials building(s)
The purpose of the Qualitative Site Review (QSR) is to provide DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB), public charter school leaders, and other community members with qualitative evidence to complement the quantitative evidence gathered in the accountability framework and charter goal attainment to determine charter continuance at reviews. (The School Reform Act requires DC PCSB to conduct a charter review of each school at least every five years.)
