Democrats for Education Reform -D.C.

Over the past decade, the District has been working toward a policy environment that allows great schools to thrive, empowers leaders and teachers, and helps struggling schools improve. We are proud to be one of the fastest improving urban school districts in the country. However, despite our progress, our public school system as a whole is not yet able to meet the needs of every child. Over 50 years after desegregation, our communities and schools are too often separate and unequal, divided not only by geography, but by opportunity, access, and resources.
