The District of Columbia Public Charter School Board (“PCSB”) announces an opportunity for the public to submit comment on a request submitted by DC Preparatory Academy Public Charter School (“DC Prep PCS”) on March 31, 2015 to amend its charter by increasing its enrollment ceiling.

DC Prep PCS is currently in its twelfth year of operation serving students in grades PK3 through eighth at four campuses located in Wards 5 and 7:  Benning Elementary, Benning Middle, Edgewood Elementary, and Edgewood Middle.  DC Prep PCS has consistently been a high performing network of charter schools that provides college preparatory programs for students in the District.  As a result, the school would like to increase its enrollment ceiling in order to offer more students, particularly those in Wards 7 and 8, the opportunity to a receive high quality education.

Pursuant to the School Reform Act, D.C. Code 38-1802 et seq., a charter school must submit a petition to revise its charter, which includes its enrollment ceiling.
