Pursuant to the School Reform Act, the DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB) is required to review each DC charter school’s performance at least once every five years. This review includes an assessment of a school’s academic, legal, and fiscal performance.
The following guidelines detail DC PCSB’s charter review process, including the standard for review, and the timeline DC PCSB will follow in completing reviews in the 2019-20 school year.
If you have questions about the review process or would like to discuss the review process as it relates to your school, please contact Nikhil Vashee, School Quality, and Accountability Specialist, by email at [email protected].
