The path to graduation should prepare students for more than a diploma - it should prepare them for what comes next.
With new graduation requirements approved by @DCSBOE, #DC students will see changes to the high school experience, including a greater focus on real-world skills and more flexibility in how they earn credits.
More pathways. More practical skills. More possibilities.🎓

25 years later, we remember the lives, the families, and the futures forever changed by #9/11.
And here in #DC, we remember six of our own: students Asia Cottom, Bernard Brown, and Rodney Dickens, and teachers Hilda Taylor, Sarah Clark, and James Debeuneure.
Forever in our hearts. Forever part of our city’s story.🤍

#DC schools are moving forward. 📈
New DC CAPE results show more than half of schools increased proficiency in both ELA and Math, with 117 schools making gains in ELA and 128 in Math.
That’s progress worth building on - and another step toward stronger outcomes for every #DC student.

Remember: we all have a role to play in helping students get to and from school safely.
If you will be driving on Monday, slow down, watch out for pedestrians, and stop at crosswalks and for school buses.
Let’s work together to make it a great first day of school!
