Ariel Johnson of @DC_Charters underscored a core issue facing #DC schools: funding decisions reflect what and whom we prioritize. Every public school student deserves equitable investment and opportunity. #DCStudentsSucceed

Our coalition members showed up last week at the #DC Council Hearing with a clear message: Fully fund all DC public school students. The #FY27 budget makes important investments - but the funding gap remains. #DCStudentsSucceed @DC_Charters | @StrongSchlsNow | @dcpave | @councilofdc

As #DC invests in the Advanced Technical Center, it’s expanding access to the kind of hands-on, career-connected learning students say makes a difference.  When students can learn by doing, they build confidence, stay engaged, and gain the skills they need for what comes next. #DCStudentsSucceed

Behind every student's success story is a great teacher.👏 This week, we say thank you. #ThankATeacher #DCStudentsSucceed

#DC is making progress - but we can’t turn back now. Students are counting on continued investment to keep moving forward. Let’s protect what’s working and close the gaps that remain. #DCStudentsSucceed

Students thrive when schools support their interests. This is what it looks like when learning is engaging, relevant, and student-centered. Every student deserves that opportunity. #DCStudentsSucceed @edforwarddc | @empowerk12 | @DC_Charters | @dcpave

Early access is driving long-term impact. #DC’s investment in pre-K is strengthening enrollment and expanding opportunity across public schools. #DCStudentsSucceed

Students thrive when their schools support their goals. From the classroom to the stage, this is what it looks like when students are encouraged to pursue their passions. Now, let’s make that the standard across #DC. #DCStudentsSucceed @edforwarddc | @empowerk12 | @DC_Charters | @dcpave

#DC is showing what’s possible with strong pre-K access. Earlier entry into public schools helps more students stay, build connections, and succeed. #DCStudentsSucceed

Rigor. Engagement. High expectations. This is what students say makes the difference. #DC has schools delivering this - now the focus is making sure every student has access. #DCStudentsSucceed @edforwarddc | @empowerk12 | @DC_Charters | @dcpave

More students are starting dual language programs in #DC. But too many lack a clear pathway to continue - especially in Wards 7 and 8. Stronger, aligned pathways can help ensure consistent access. #DCStudentsSucceed

#DC is making real progress in early literacy - and it’s worth paying attention to. Kindergarten reading outcomes are improving, showing what’s possible when we invest in evidence-based instruction and strong supports for educators. Let’s keep building on this progress and ensure every student has access to what works. #DCStudentsSucceed
