Section 10-A1213. EDU -3.2 EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

 

1213.1The array of learning institutions within the District is vitally important to the city and its residents, particularly its youth. Institutions of higher learning are involved in a myriad of community and educational partnerships to improve access to education, economic opportunities for District residents, and investment in the community at-large. Partnerships between institutions of higher learning and DCPS and its students have and should continue to provide educational opportunities and advantages for our children (see example in text box at left). 1213.1

 

1213.2Successful Partnerships for Education: One Example

 

The DC School Without Walls was established in 1971 through a cooperative effort between DC PS and the George Washington University. As the name implies, this public school uses the city as a classroom and offers an alternative to conventional instructional programs. The School Without Walls has been a great success. One recent indicator is that all 340 students who graduated from School Without Walls High School in June 2005 went on to college.

 

1213.3 Encourage partnerships between the city’s colleges and universities, anchor institutions, and K-12 schools to create additional pathways to learning for District students and young adults.

 

1213.4Policy EDU-3.2.2: Corporate Citizenship

 

Support continued “corporate citizenship” among the city’s large institutions, including its colleges, universities, hospitals, private schools, and non-profits. This should include a continued commitment to high quality architecture and design on local campuses, expanded use of “green building” methods and low impact development, and the adaptive reuse and preservation of historic buildings. 1213.4
