DC Charter School Alliance

Too often we treat passing reforms as the finish line instead of making sure they actually reach classrooms consistently across schools and sectors. Excited to partner with @strongschoolsdc alongside educators across @dcpublicschools, @OSSEDC, & @DC_Charters on this work.

DC's budget is inching toward equitable school funding for public charter students, but we’re not there yet. Read our full statement and repost (tag your Council member!) if you agree that charter school students are not worth less. bit.ly/4tVo2gG

On behalf of DC's public charter school community, thank you @DCPSChancellor Ferebee for your 8 years of service leading DCPS. Your commitment to DC's young people made a difference across our entire city. DC's students are better for the work you've done. Wishing you the best!

DC's 48,000+ charter school students are not worth less. We stand with former Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie in demanding full funding equity — move all funding back into the UPSFF. 📣Thank you for continuing to fight for every DC student.

Charter school parents chose their school—the community, the teachers, the facilities. The FY27 budget penalizes that decision, funding charter students $2,000 less than DCPS peers. Charter students are not worth less.📣 Tag your councilmember!

@Nationals Park came alive for Charter School Night ⚾, celebrating the 48,000+ students, families & staff who choose public charter schools. Congrats to our Winter Writing Contest winners, and shoutout to our ED Ariel Johnson for throwing the first pitch! #DCProudCharterStrong

🗳️ Your vote. Your choices. More power. On June 16, DC voters can rank up to 5 candidates instead of selecting just one. Start with your top choice, then rank the rest in order. Learn how it works in just one minute 👇  youtube.com/watch?v=-VZw4h… #DCision2026

As #FY27 budget markups move forward, funding conversations should remain focused on students, fairness, and equitable investment across ALL of #DC’s public schools. #DCStudentsSucceed

Damaged AC. Leaky roof. Broken elevator. DC’s FY27 budget shortchanges public charter schools by $2k/student. In Wards 5, 7 & 8, where most public school kids attend charters, that gap is widest. Charter students are not worth less. 📣 Tag your councilmember!

In the latest episode of @dcpcsb’s UnCHARTERed Territory, the leaders of @RWPCSROXIE and @SocJusticepcs discuss what it means to build schools centered on student voice, mental health, safety, belonging, and opportunity, not just academics. 🎙️Watch/listen: youtube.com/watch?v=tcp175…

Students from @dcpublicschools and DC public charter schools (@DC_Charters) competed in the first-ever Capital Math Classic at @Nationals Park yesterday, organized by @empowerk12! cc (via @DCNewsNow) yhoo.it/4nwVubL

Thank you, Councilmember Lewis George! We agree: DC's 48,000+ charter school students deserve meaningful, fair investment. 📣 Moving all funding back into the UPSFF is how we protect equity for every child — regardless of which public school they attend.

@jessicahdgiles 📢Public charter students are not worth less, & 63% of Dem voters agree: close the funding gap @ChmnMendelson @CMCHenderson @cmdonicrawford @CMRobertWhiteDC @CMZParker5 @CMWendellFelder @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @CMBrookePinto @CMCharlesAllen @BrianneKNadeau @trayonwhite @CMAnitaBondsDC

63% of Democratic voters believe public charter schools should receive the same level of funding as DCPS. For people who genuinely want kids to thrive no matter what school they attend, this is a no brainer. #ClosetheGapDC closethegapdc.com

DC Council: Charter students are not worth less. Half the city's public schools could be forced to choose between a reading interventionist or working HVAC — because the Mayor's FY27 budget sends 💸 to DCPS outside the UPSFF. Tag your council member! 📣

This National #CharterSchoolsWeek, we celebrate DC's public charter school communities — including our 24 schools that offer #CTE, helping drive workforce readiness in DC. But equitable funding is essential to keep it going. #DCProudCharterStrong dccharters.org/blog/close-fun…

The FY27 budget shortchanges 48,000+ DC charter school students. Again. Moving funds outside the UPSFF undermines the equitable system we've built. Health & safety shouldn't depend on which public school a student attends. Same city. Same students. RT & tag your councilmember!

Our Friendship Chamberlain and Friendship Ideal middle school scholars took on Washington, D.C. during their GW trip! 🏛️✨ Students explored history, leadership, and college life while gaining hands-on experiences beyond the classroom. Learning came alive every step of the way! #OELP #FutureLeaders #CollegeAndCareerReady

For the second year in a row, @HarvardCEPR is recognizing #DC as a national bright spot in post-pandemic academic recovery. The latest findings highlight the academic progress students across the District are continuing to make in reading and math.

DC Council: Restore the 3.1% annual increase to charter school facilities funding. The FY27 budget freezes this legally required raise — cutting ~$6M that schools rely on for rent and school improvements. These aren't extras. They're basics. Tag your council member! 📣

It's National #CharterSchoolsWeek, and DC's charter schools are building tomorrow's workforce. We're proud to serve 48,000 public school students across the city, but equitable funding is critical to carrying out our mission. ➡️ dccharters.org/blog/close-fun…
