The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in all DC public charter schools physically closing and implementing distance learning programs in March 2020. The DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB) adopted this policy to clearly articulate changes in the implementation of policies and practices impacted by the pandemic for the remainder of the school year (SY) 2019-20. The policy was revised in December to describe additional changes to DC PCSB's oversight and accountability practices for SY 2020-21.
*This policy ended on June 30, 2023 and has been replaced by the Charter Goals Policy. However, components of the policy still impact upcoming charter reviews and renewals containing SY 2019 – 20 through SY 2021 – 22.
