This policy describes the preferences in admission that public charter schools may give to applicants. The policy applies to all schools, including those participating in My School DC, the citywide common lottery system.

Congress opened the door for charters in the nation’s capital when it passed the DC School Reform Act of 1995 and all public charter schools in the District of Columbia are authorized under the DC Code. The DC Public Charter School Board is an independent body governed by the School Reform Act, which is codified in Title 38, Subtitle IV, Chapter 18. View the DC Code.

 Wednesday Bulletin is delivered weekly to DC public charter school leaders and is compiled by DC PCSB's Communications Department. Submissions are welcome and are due by 5 p.m. every Friday to wednesdaybulletin@dcpcsb.org.  To subscribe to the mailing list, please contact wednesdaybulletin@dcpcsb.org.
