Please give generously to the @DCCollaborative this #GivingTuesday and #givingseason ! The @DCCollaborative creates equitable opportunities for DC students to attend more #arts &humanities events and brings more #teachingartists into the schools. We also fund buses for events!
Last week, CAH was pleased to partner with the @DCCollaborative to bring together teaching artists, educators, and arts education supporters to connect and learn about upcoming opportunities to participate and engage in the DC Arts scene. Thanks to @BoardwalkWharf for hosting!

Statewide referenda rejecting vouchers in two ruby red states in this past election show that, after two centuries, public education is still a bipartisan project. But Republican politicians sadly don’t care what their own voters want on this issue.

Unlike the LA Times & Washington Post who are owned by billionaires, the Philadelphia Inquirer is owned by The Lenfest Institute for Journalism, a non-profit org. The Philadelphia Inquirer is the largest newspaper in America operated as a public-benefit corporation
BOOM. The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board just endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. This is how it’s done. Thank you, Philadelphia Inquirer.

Just because Donald Trump acts goofy doesn’t mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Lately, some of the people who know Trump the best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again.

This is the text of the Post columnists' statement, for those hitting the paywall: The Washington Post’s decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice
Q. Would you have certified the 2020 election? JD Vance: No. “I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and ask the country to have a debate” Disqualifying

This is why DCPS schools, which will enroll any in-boundary student K and up any time of the year, need to be treated (and resourced) differently than charters. And DCPS schools receiving many students from Eagle may need additional staff to absorb the increase. @ChmnMendelson
🚨The D.C. Public Charter School Board rejected a plan that would have allowed Friendship Public Charter School to take over Eagle Academy Public Charter School. This means hundreds of kids are without a school just a few days before school was set to start and teachers and
