DC PCSB is not enforcing the Attendance and Truancy Policy during the 2025–26 school year—meaning Notices of Concern related to attendance will not be issued during this period. This pause reflects our collective recognition that the current policy needs to be revised to better align with today’s realities. During this time, DC PCSB staff will be engaging school leaders, experts, and community members to redesign the policy. For more information, please contact Blair Daniel at [email protected].
At DC PCSB, we are committed to building and sustaining a quality portfolio of public charter schools. We hold schools to rigorous standards to ensure every student is prepared for success in college, career, and life.
Transparency is a cornerstone of our work. To support informed decision-making and public trust, we make extensive data available to families, educators, and community members. We also set clear, ambitious, and achievable accountability targets for all schools.
