Decisions that will affect funding for your child’s school next year are already starting this fall — are you ready?
On October 28th, the Senior High Alliance of Parents, Principals, and Educators (S.H.A.P.P.E) and DCFPI will host an event to help the community learn more about — and weigh in on — DC Public Schools’ funding priorities next school year. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Nathaniel Beers, Chief Operating Officer for DCPS. The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. at Luke C. Moore Academy (1001 Monroe St NE, Washington, DC 20017).
For more information or to submit questions in advance, please contact Cathy Reilly (dc.s.h.a.p.p.e@gmail.com) or Soumya Bhat (bhat@dcfpi.org).
And if you haven’t already checked it out, DCFPI offers a handy guide on how DC schools are funded, including opportunities for advocacy. Stay tuned to the District’s Dime for all your budget updates!
