I'm so excited to share the news that I'll be joining the @KIPP_DC team and family as President. KIPP DC has been an anchor in the District of Columbia for decades, and tens of thousands of students and families in Washington have called KIPP DC home over the years.
We are excited to announce that longtime friend and local education leader Shannon Hodge will be our next President. Shannon has led a number of key organizations in the DC education community and we are thrilled for her to bring this experience to KIPP! https://t.co/zmhxedwQg3

We teach students each year that the right to peacefully assemble and protest is a foundation truth. Today’s verdict in Wisconsin fails to deliver justice for the young men killed and wounded for peacefully protesting police brutality and violence in communities of color.
