6193952 Public Charter School Board, DC - Notice of Charter Amendment - Children's Guild DC Public Charter School

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD

NOTIFICATION OF CHARTER AMENDMENT

The District of Columbia Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB) hereby gives notice of Children’s Guild DC Public Charter School’s (Children’s Guild PCS) request to amend its goals and academic achievement expectations. Since Children’s Guild PCS serves a large population of students with disabilities, the school is proposing to revise its existing goals so that DC PCSB may assess students’ progress based on a comparison between like-populations of students. Children’s Guild PCS is also proposing to remove its goal regarding the Fountas and Pinnell assessment, since the school now uses a more standardized assessment for growth known as iReady. Lastly, the school plans to modify its existing goal around the National School Climate Survey for Parents, in order to specify a target response rate for the survey and ensure validity of its results. If approved, the proposed goals changes will be effective for school year 2016-2017 and beyond. A public hearing regarding this item will be held on October 17, 2016 at 6:30 p.m.; a vote will be held on November 21, 2016 at 6:30 p.m.  To submit public comments, you may October 17_, 2016 at 4:00pm.  For questions, please contact Laterica (Teri) Quinn, Equity and Fidelity Specialist, at 202-328-2660 or [e-mail].
