2021-2024 Strategic Roadmap

In our new Strategic Roadmap, we are committed to focusing on equity -- and on the District students we serve. This Strategic Roadmap will guide our work in three areas: Excellent Schools, Enduring Partnerships, and Effective Organization.

Strategic Priorities

Excellent Schools. Ensure that DC PCSB decision-making responds to citywide need and results in improved outcomes for all DC students, especially those in historically marginalized groups.

Enduring Partnerships. Strengthen dialogue between families, school communities, and residents to create a shared understanding of our work, solicit feedback, and develop new partnerships across DC.

Effective Organization. Align our internal structure, processes, and culture with our strategic plan to allow DC PCSB to create the conditions for student success in DC.

Our Vision

Every DC student receives a quality education that makes them feel valued and prepares them for lifelong learning, fulfilling careers, and economic security.

Our Mission

DC public charter schools are environments where all students, especially those in historically marginalized groups, thrive. As DC’s charter authorizer, we:

Approve, monitor, and evaluate schools, with an emphasis on equity and academic excellence 

Create policies and conditions to empower educators to do their best work in service of students

Actively engage families, schools, and communities to inform our decision-making

Commitment

Our Commitment to Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Work

Grounded in our race, equity, diversity, and inclusion (REDI) work, we pledge to take time to reflect, listen, and hold space for one another in service of our mission. We are united in the following beliefs and commitments that will guide our authorizing work moving forward:

We acknowledge the prevalence of interpersonal, institutional, and systemic racism in our country 

We seek to understand the collective impact of racism and inequity on public education and our role in perpetuating these harms 

We believe an excellent school is equitable

We work to eliminate the impact of racism and inequity on students as DC’s public charter school authorizer

We commit to continuous learning about ourselves, our work, and our city to inform our policies, practices, recommendations, and behaviors 

We engage all voices in our decision-making process thoroughly and consistently, and we embrace discord that can come when people share their personal experiences and perspectives on our work
