MESSAGE FROM BOARD CHAIR TOM NIDA
Setting the Pace in Washington, D.C.
The past school year was an exciting one for D.C. residents in general and public education reform
in particular. A new president of the United States was elected and inaugurated, providing rich
content for educators and students across subjects and grades, as well as a national focus on
education reform in Washington, D.C.
President Barack Obama boldly stated his support for charter schools in his speeches, and by
appointing a secretary of education who is also a strong supporter of charter schools. His rst visit
to a school was to Capital City Public Charter School here in D.C. He told the school community
their school is an example of how all schools should be, and that he would support replication of
high achieving charter schools in communities all across the country. First Lady Michelle Obama
gave her only high school commencement address for 2009 at Washington Math, Science and
Technology Public Charter High School. She told those students they were more than ready
for the achievements ahead and to take leadership roles in their communities. Mrs. Obama also
participated in a Cinco de Mayo celebration hosted by Latin American Montessori Bilingual PCS
and Next Step PCS, in which she encouraged students to design future careers where they could
serve others.
President Obama and Secretary Arne Duncan titled one of their ambitious new education initiatives,
Race to the Top. This initiative is intended to drive more expansion of charter school options in
states throughout the U.S. and offers additional Federal funds to those states that best meet the
Administrations standards for achieving this goal. Though we have seen rapid growth in the quantity
of D.C. charter schools, many of which are outstanding, we are now eager to see rapid growth in the
quality of the charter school options, in our own local Race to the Top. We envision charter schools
continuing to be pace leaders, inspiring a collective rise in the quality of all public schools, so that
D.C. students and families will some day only have difculty choosing between many great school
options in a city full of high-performing schools of every type.
The National Association of Charter School Authorizers honored our organization with the 2009
Award for Excellence in Improving Practice, and Josephine Baker, our Executive Director, was
named to the Charter School Hall of Fame by the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools.
These honors were conrmation that our rst priority of serving the best interests of students is
well-placed and bearing fruit after twelve years of authorizing.
The recent standardized test results and exceptional high school graduation and college acceptance
rates suggest that charter school students are graduating well-prepared for college and careers.
Each June, when we acknowledge these graduates going off to many of the nations nest colleges
and universities, we forget for a moment about the obstacles and challenges we all face in this city-
wide drive to bring D.C. public education to its full potential. We suddenly nd new energy to keep
the pace in our own race to the top, for the benet of all D.C. students.

PCSB RECEIVES NATIONAL HONOR
FOR EXCELLENCE IN PRACTICE
During its national conference in October
2008, the National Association for
Charter School Authorizers (NACSA)
honored the PCSB with the Award for
Excellence for Improving Practice in
Authorizing. The PCSB was one of three
honorees and the rst to be recognized
for outstanding practice as an authorizer.
The PCSB was recognized for continuous
improvement, its dutiful and fair-minded
approach to integrating 18 former D.C.
Board of Education charter schools under
PCSB authority and the Boards bold
decision to authorize the former Catholic
schools, based on the merit of the
application, even in the face of political
pressure against the decision.
JOSEPHINE BAKER INDUCTED INTO
CHARTER SCHOOL HALL OF FAME
Josephine Baker, executive director of
the D.C. Public Charter School Board,
was named to the National Public Charter
Schools Hall of Fame during the National
Charter School Conference in Washington,
D.C. on Tuesday, June 23, 2009.
Ms. Baker was selected because of her
pioneering role in the D.C. charter school
movement, which is second to New
Orleans, LA for the highest percentage
of charter school students in public
schools. She was a founding member
and rst chairperson of the D.C. Public
Charter School Board (PCSB), which was
created in 1997 as a second authorizer to
be independent of the traditional school
system. She answered the call to serve as
the PCSBs executive director in 2002.
Under her leadership as Board Chair and
then Executive Director, the D.C. Public
Charter School Board staff has grown
from a small staff of four committed
individuals implementing newly established
policies and monitoring nine schools,
to an efcient staff of 23 monitoring 57
schools on 93 campuses serving more
than 25,000 students in every ward of the
city. The PCSB is now the sole charter
school authorizer in Washington, D.C., and
its award-winning authorizing practices
have been studied by state and foreign
governments, national non-prots and
research groups.
FOND FAREWELL TO BOARD
MEMBERS
On Wednesday, October 29, 2008, local
and national education stakeholders joined
remaining members of the D.C. Public
Charter School Board (PCSB) and staff for
a reception honoring the service of three
outgoing members. Lawrence Patrick, III
and Karl Jentoft both resigned to accept
career opportunities that
required them to relocate
out of the city, and
Anthony Coln stepped
down after his four-year
term expired.
Board chair Tom Nida
praised the work of
each of the outgoing
members. He recalled
how Lawrence Patrick
leveraged his experience and unique
insights as the President of Black
Alliance for Educational Options, a
national organization that advocates for
school choice options for minority and
underserved students. He also described
how Mr. Patrick shared his expertise
in information technology, which led to
a major grant-funded overhaul of the
PCSBs technology infrastructure and data
management capacity.
Mr. Nida reected on Anthony Colns long
career in public education, serving early
on as a charter high school principal in
California, while the D.C. charter school
movement was in its formative years. He
noted Mr. Colns passionate advocacy
for Latino and English language learners,
and his expertise in special education. He
noted how Mr. Coln made certain these
constituencies were considered in every
major PCSB decision.
Mr. Nida shared the story of Karl Jentoft
coming to him years before seeking
support for his start-up charter school, and
in the process exposing him to the charter
school concept and why they need bank
nancing. Years later, Mr. Jentoft would
sit on the other side of the table as a
member of the PCSB. Mr. Nida noted how
Mr. Jentoft contributed his considerable
expertise in nance and management, his
awareness of the challenges of running
a successful charter school, and his
no-nonsense standards for academic
and operational performance in charter
schools.
After praising each one, Mr. Nida asserted,
It was always clear that these gentleman
remained true to our principle of putting
the best interests of students and families
rst in every decision we make.

PCSBs Four Functions
THE D. C. PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARDS MISSION DEFINES ITS FOUR KEY FUNCTIONS.
1. Comprehensive application review process ensures that the
PCSB only approves charter school applicants with thorough
applications, research-based programs, experienced
leadership and community support.
2. Effective oversight holds schools to high standards for results,
and makes oversight decisions with the best interests of
students in mind.
3. Meaningful support - identies and addresses problems
early, and rewards consistently high-performing schools with
more autonomy.
4. Active engagement of its stakeholders solicits community
input, and strives to be responsive and transparent to all
who are impacted by and impact the PCSB and public
charter schools.
New Staff Members
THE BOARD WELCOMED TWO NEW STAFF MEMBERS:
Audrey Williams joined the communications team in April
2009 as the Public Affairs Manager. Ms. Williams contributes
her talents to the Boards efforts to improve its engagement with
government agencies, public ofcials, community organizations
and news media. She brings considerable communications
experience to the Board, having worked in corporate
environments, as well as at the D.C. Board of Education and
D.C. Public Schools.
Imhotep Yakub joined the staff in April 2009 as the Data
Specialist. Imhotep is responsible for the maintenance and
staff support of the PCSB IT Infrastructure, including network,
data formats, vendor coordination, and data integrity.
Mr. Yakub comes to the Board with more than ve years
experience in network administration, specializing in managing
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003/2007, Active Directory
2003, and Blackberry Enterprise Server. Previously he worked
for Optimal Networks, a computer consulting rm based in
Gaithersburg, MD, as a Network Engineer.
With no staff departures this scal year, the PCSB has grown
to 24 full-time employees serving the interests of more than
26,000 students.
During the D.C. Public Charter School Boards (PCSB) December
2008 monthly meeting, the PCSB approved a change in the
PCSBs operational calendar, in light of new initiatives to overhaul
the PCSBs performance management framework and its
technology infrastructure. The two initiatives will provide a more
complete and fair picture of public charter school performance,
facilitate more efcient use of the PCSBs resources, and increase
the organizations transparency.
To facilitate the implementation of these new initiatives and take
advantage of the information and data obtained through them,
board members approved a new policy that would move the
application cycle to a new timeline, and in effect, forego new
charter applications for 2009. Application guidelines for the
next cycle will be released in November 2009, new applications
accepted through February 1, 2010, and board decisions made
in April 2010. Any approved schools would open in August 2011.
This new timeline would remain the same in the future.
Applicants submitting proposals to convert an existing school
must submit parental conversion endorsement signatures on one
of two datesFebruary 1, 2010 for students enrolled in Spring
2010 or July 31, 2010 for students enrolled for Fall 2010. The
Boards decisions will be announced publicly on April 19, 2010.
The Board is authorized to approve up to 10 charter awards in any
given year.
Those interested in learning more about the application review
process are invited to either of two public information meetings
scheduled for November 12 and December 10, 2009 in the
Board conference room. For more updates on the application
process, visit the PCSB website at www.dcpubliccharter.com.

Application Guidelines for the 2010 cycle will be released
in November 2009.

The D.C. School Reform Act, Washington, D.C.s charter law,
established broad requirements for the charter authorizer/s
to hold schools accountable for school performance and
student outcomes. The founding members of the D.C. Public
Charter School Board (PCSB) set out immediately to establish
a comprehensive accountability system that would facilitate
systematic but individualized evaluations of each schools annual
performance.
In exchange for operational independence, charter schools
must establish specic academic and non-academic targets
in an accountability plan. The PCSB measures each schools
performance against its targets, as well as its nancial
management and compliance with local and federal laws
including the No Child Left Behind Act.
The PCSBs current accountability system includes Self-Study
Reviews or rst-year schools, Program Development Reviews
or schools ater the rst year, Special Education Quality
Reviews, Compliance Reviews and Financial Management
Reviews or all schools, High School Transcript Reviews, and
Preliminary Charter Reviews for schools entering the fth
year of operations. Ongoing review of performance outcomes
dictates board actions, which could include approval to
expand, or sanctions leading to charter revocation. Every
ve years, the PCSB evaluates schools accountability plan
performance to decide if a school has served students well
enough to continue another ve years. The charter law also
established a 15-year charter renewal process, which the rst
charter schools will undergo in two years.
Because of its commitment to continuous improvement of its
oversight processes, the D.C. Public Charter School Boards
accountability system is regarded as a national model for
authorizers. The PCSB was honored with the 2008 Award for
Excellence in Improving Practice by the National Association of
Charter School Authorizers at its national conference in
October 2008.
PCSBS NEW PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
Beginning in 2008, PCSB worked with researchers and
consultants to take charter school accountability one step further,
with the development of the PCSB Performance Management
Framework (PMF). The PMF, in conjunction with an overhauled
and upgraded information technology infrastructure, will facilitate
an even more comprehensive evaluation of school performance,
based on common measures across all schools, absolute student
achievement as well as growth perormance measures, indicators
o readiness or high school and college, and mission-specic
measures at each school. Evaluations of non-academic measures,
including governance, compliance with local and federal laws, and
nancial management will also be incorporated into the PMF.
This new framework, which was piloted in the 2008-2009 school
year on a selected group of schools, will be fully implemented
during the 2009-2010 school year. The PMF will improve the
PCSBs ability to dene high, medium and low-performing
standards, and to clearly communicate the expectations, rewards
and consequences to schools, families and communities. It
will enable the PCSB to make clear judgments about school
performance and better manage the portfolio of public charter
school offerings. The overarching objective is to drive high-
achieving schools to full potential, mediocre schools to high
achieving levels, and to eliminate low-performing schools, so that
D.C. students and families have a diversity of high quality public
school options from which to choose.

PRESIDENT AND MRS. OBAMA VISIT
CAPITAL CITY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL
On February 3, 2009 second grade
students at Capital City Public Charter
School were treated to story time with
President Barack Obama and First Lady
Michelle Obama. The Obamas read The
Moon Over Star by Dianna Hutts Aston,
in Capital Citys well-stocked library. The
couple was greeted by two fth graders
who shared with the President and First
Lady what they had learned in their recent
learning expedition on voting rights.
They asked President Obama if he would
support voting rights in Congress for D.C.
residents. The President said he would.
President Obama praised Capital Citys
innovation, academic success and high
levels of parental involvement, and said it
was an example of how all schools should
be. He introduced his education secretary
Arne Duncan to the children, and told
them that Secretary Duncan would work
hard to encourage innovation and support
duplication of schools like Capital City all
across the country.
President Obama has been a vocal
supporter of public charter schools, and
has advocated for improved accountability,
intervention with struggling schools, and
closing low-performing charter schools as
part of his K-12 agenda. The D.C. Public
Charter School Boards (PCSB) mission
and nationally-recognized practices
align perfectly with this philosophy, with
the added principle of rewarding high-
performing charters with more autonomy
and opportunities to duplicate their
programs.
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA TELLS
WMST GRADUATES THEY ARE MORE
THAN READY
Unlike many other Class of 2009
graduates, the seniors at Washington
Math, Science & Technology PCS (WMST)
will likely remember their high school
commencement speaker and the key
messages delivered on June 3, 2009. First
Lady Michelle Obama chose to speak at
only one high school graduation ceremony
in 2009, and it was to the graduating
class of WMST. The rst lady accepted
the invitation after senior Jasmine Williams
invited her to speak to this class of high
achievers whom Jasmine asserted were
underestimated by American society.
Mrs. Obama praised WMST as one that
challenges stereotypes and proves that
African American and Latino students
can excel in math and sciences. To all of
you graduates, you are more than ready
to assume the mantle of leadership and
become the next generation of innovators
and entrepreneurs, leaders and legends,
Obama said.
The class of 2009 was awarded $3.3
million in scholarships and nearly
every graduate will attend colleges
and universities, including Georgetown

EDUCATORS EARN WASHINGTON
POST AWARDS
Kathryn Procopes students at Maya
Angelou Public Charter High School say
they enjoy math because their teacher
makes math look easy and she has
that math thing down pat. While Sarah
Hayes heart is still in the 5th grade math
classroom at KIPP DC: KEY Academy,
she pours her soul into maintaining the
schools standing as one of the highest
performing middle schools in Washington,
D.C. Procope and Hayes are the rst
charter school recipients of education
awards from the Washington Post. Procope
received the Washington Posts 2009

EDUCATOR IS D.C. TEACHER OF
THE YEAR
The 2009 District of Columbia Teacher
of the Year is Kimberly Worthy, a seventh
grade social studies and language arts
teacher at the Howard University Middle
School of Mathematics and Science Public
Charter School. Worthy was chosen as
D.C. Teacher of the Year for her dedication
to her students, commitment to the
profession of teaching and her capacity
to serve as an ambassador and model for
the teachers in the District of Columbia.
A panel of education leaders selected
her through an application process that
included a written application, essays, an
interview, and classroom observation. This
was the rst year that the D.C. Teacher
of the Year contest was conducted by
the Ofce of the State Superintendent of
Education (OSSE). This means a lot to
me, Worthy said. Being acknowledged
for implementing culturally-relevant
teaching and cross-curricular approaches
to teaching validates their efcacy. I am
grateful to the administration and to my
students for this opportunity.
THURGOOD MARSHALL SENIOR AWARDED
TRACHTENBURG SCHOLARSHIP
Dayna Hudson was ecstatic when her
name was announced April 3, 2009 as
one of the winners of a full scholarship

CAPITAL CITY PCS NAMED FOR 2009
QUALITY SCHOOL INITIATIVE AWARD
Capital City Public Charter School was
awarded the 2009 Quality School Initiative
Award for public schools from Fight for
Children, an independent non-prot
organization committed to improving
education in D.C. schools. Capital City
was one of three Washington area
schools awarded a $100,000 grant from
Fight For Children. The Quality Schools
Initiative is an innovative awards program
that encourages replication of high
quality programs that improve student
achievement among low-income children
in public, charter, and independent schools
throughout Washington, DC.
Capital City Public Charter School
was founded in 2000 by a group of
D.C. Public School parents working
with teachers and other education
professionals to create a school dedicated
to the best practices in education reform.
Their mission is to enable a diverse group
of children to meet high expectations,
develop creativity, critical thinking and
problem-solving skills, and achieve deep
understanding of complex subjects, while
acquiring a love of learning and a strong
sense of community and character.
Capital City serves 236 students in Pre-K
through eighth grade.
TWO RIVERS PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL
FEATURED IN NEW BOOK
Two Rivers Public Charter School was
one of eight schools featured in the book
Data Wise In Action a compilation of
stories of schools using data to improve
teaching and learning. Data Wise In
Action, a new companion and sequel to
the bestselling Data Wise, tells the stories
of eight very different schools following the
Data Wise process of using assessment
results to improve teaching and learning.
The book highlights the leadership
challenges schools face in each phase
of the eight-step Data Wise cycle and
illustrates how staff members use creativity
and collaboration to overcome those
challenges.

D.C. COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (DCCAS)
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND (NCLB) AND
ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS (AYP)
Public charter school students are required to take the DC
Comprehensive Assessment System (DC CAS) annually to comply
with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The results of the DC
CAS, the citywide standardized test, show that charter schools
achieved signicant gains in math and reading prociency
compared to last year, with secondary schools showing the most
improvement.
79% of secondary schools showed reading gains
of up to 26 points
71% of secondary schools improved math scores
by as much as 39 points
61% of elementary schools had reading gains
of up to 29 points
57% of elementary schools had math gains
of up to 33 points
SECONDARY SCHOOLS AVERAGE PROFICIENCY
Math: 57% (+9 points from 2008)
Reading: 53% (+6 points from 2008)
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AVERAGE PROFICIENCY
Math: 42% (+ .6 point from 2008)
Reading: 45% (+ .6 point from 2008)
In accordance with NCLB requirements, the Ofce of the State
Superintendent established the following Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) benchmarks for all D.C. public schools:
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BENCHMARKS FOR 2009
60.53 percent prociency in reading,
55.21 percent prociency in math
SECONDARY SCHOOL BENCHMARKS FOR 2009
57.69 percent prociency in reading,
55.41 percent prociency in math
ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS RESULTS
FOR THE 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR:
13 public charter schools made AYP
60 public charter schools did not make AYP
AYP was not applicable to 20 schools, because the
schools did not serve students in the test population
(grades 3-8, and 10th).
DC CAS/AYP results are one part of the D.C. Public Charter
School Boards (PCSB) comprehensive performance
management framework, which evaluates charter school
performance through a thorough review of academic
performance, including yearly student achievement, student
progress over time, mission-specific measures and student
readiness for graduation and post-secondary success.
Review of non-academic indicators includes compliance
with local and federal laws, governance capacity and fiscal
management. The entire framework gives the Board a full
picture of how well schools are functioning and whether
students are on track to graduate fully prepared for higher
education and career opportunities.
The above results are preliminary and subject to change after the
appeals process is completed.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
An important part of the D.C. Public Charter School Boards
mission is active engagement of stakeholders. Board members
and staff recognize that transparency, open dialogue and
information exchange are critical to the effectiveness of charter
schools and the PCSBs overall mission to provide quality public
school options for D.C. students, families and communities. The
PCSB recognizes a variety of groups as stakeholders - the most
important being the students and parents - and seeks a variety of
ways to engage with them.
PCSB WEBSITE
The PCSB website (www.dcpubliccharter.com) offers a full array
of information about the Boards work, charter school options and
performance, news and updates, as well as tips and resources
for parents, researchers, news media and others interested in
D.C.s charter school sector of public education. A new upgraded
website will be launched in August 2009.
MONTHLY BOARD MEETINGS
PCSB board meetings take place on the third Monday of every
month, usually at 7:30 pm, at the PCSB headquarters. The
meetings are always open to the public. The date, time and
agenda of each board meeting is posted on the PCSB website.
Board members held twelve monthly board meetings, all of which
took place at the PCSB headquarters. They voted on more than
100 agenda items pertaining to charter school performance,
accountability and school leader requests, as well as PCSB
policy decisions to improve the Boards work. In addition, board
members heard and discussed matters presented by community
members and public ofcials.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
The PCSB holds public hearings whenever a group applies to open
a new charter or convert a traditional public, parochial or private
school into a public charter school, when the PCSB proposes to
revoke a schools charter and the school exercises its right to an
inormal hearing, and whenever a school seeks to change the
terms of its charter agreement from what was originally presented
in public and approved by the Board. Board members encourage
community members to participate in all public hearings. It is
important that community members hear the proposals presented
either by board members or school leaders, and that they offer
their perspectives on how the proposals might impact their
communities.
The PCSB hosted two public hearings during the 2008-2009
school year. The rst hearing was held in February 2009 at MEI
Futures Academys school campus, to discuss the proposal to
revoke a charter. The second hearing took place in May 2009 at
the PCSB headquarters, to discuss requests by Eagle Academy,
D.C. Bilingual, and Washington Math, Science and Technologys
requests to amend their charters to add grades or curricula.
COMMUNITY FORUMS
The PCSB hosts community forums to inform community
members of board decision outcomes that will likely have direct
impact on their communities. Board members encourage
questions and comments from community members, so that
they understand how board members arrived at their decisions,
and so that PCSB members and staff may have the opportunity
to support community members who feel they are or will be
adversely affected.
During the 2008-2009 school year community forums were
hosted to discuss the charter revocation of MEI Futures Academy,
the charter revocation of City Lights PCS, the PCSBs new
accountability framework, and the results of the DCCAS, the citys
standardized test.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY
Each year PCSB members provide testimony during public
hearings held by the Council of the District of Columbia, the
Mayor and the State Board of Education, on topics pertaining to
public education, charter schools, and PCSB accountability.
PCSB members or staff testied at the Councils hearings on the
Master Facilities Plan in March 2009, the Council Performance
Hearings in March 2009, and the Council Budget Hearings in
April 2009.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
PCSB members and staff interact regularly with public ofcials,
and representatives of D.C. Government agencies that impact
public education, charter schools, youth and families. When
public agencies communicate and coordinate services and
resources, it positively impacts outcomes for students.
PCSB members and staff participated in meetings, working
groups and community meetings or events with Council staff,
the Ofce of the State Superintendent of Education, D.C. Public
Schools, the Ofce of the City Administrator, the Ofce of Deputy
Mayor for Education, the Ofce of the Chief Financial Ofcer,
the D.C. Department of Health, and other agencies regarding
the citys education budget, special education services, school
closings, facilities, the H1N1 virus, truancy and attendance, and
other topics of shared interest.
PUBLICATIONS
The PCSB produces two annual publications for distribution to the
public. The annual School Performance Reports provide a prole
of each charter school, including performance outcomes, unique
accomplishments, board decisions, and test data.
The PCSBs Annual Report offers community members detailed
information about the Boards performance and accountability
during the previous school year. It includes information about
board and staff members, board decisions, overviews of charter
school performance and accountability outcomes, technical
assistance provided to schools, the PCSBs nancial review and a
birds-eye view of the charter school landscape in Washington, D.C.
MEDIA RELATIONS
PCSB members and staff engage regularly with print, television,
radio, and web-based journalists. PCSB spokespersons offer
information on charter school performance and accountability, as
well as perspectives on pertinent issues affected by or impacting
charter schools. PCSB staff elded countless requests for
interviews and data from local, national and web-based outlets.
SPECIAL EVENTS
PCSB members and staff participate in local events to increase
awareness about PCSB resources that are available to students,
parents and community members.
The PCSB was a participating sponsor of the 2008 D.C. Family
Education Expo (DCFEE) which took place in September 2008.
A number of D.C. agencies and non-prots collaborated on
this event to offer educational and other resources to parents,
educators and others involved in the lives of children.
PCSB vice chair, staff and charter school leaders and students
walked in the annual Palisades Fourth of July parade. The parade
is attended by residents from every part of the city and is a light-
hearted way to meet and greet community members who may be
less aware of the PCSBs role in the charter school sector.
Board and staff members have set a goal to participate in at least
four community events during the next school year.
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO PCSB NEWS UPDATES
Community members may take advantage of free subscription
to PCSB email updates through the PCSB website. PCSB staff
share with subscribers board meeting decisions, announcements
of public hearings, community forums and news releases, at least
once per month.
Subscriptions to the community email list increased from
approximately 350 to more than 600 community members during
the 2008-2009 school year.
TELEPHONE AND EMAIL ACCESS TO PCSB STAFF
Community members may call the PCSB ofces at
(202) 328-2660 during business hours of 9:00 am to 5:30 pm,
Monday through Friday. Callers receive immediate, live
assistance. Community members may also email the PCSB
at dcpublic@dcpubliccharter.com. Emails are responded to
promptly, often within the hour, but certainly within 24 hours or by
the next business day.
OPEN-DOOR POLICY
Community members who prefer to visit the PCSB ofces to ask
questions or request information may do so during the PCSBs
business hours of 9:00 am to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Community members seeking assistance with research should
call ahead (202) 328-2660 for an appointment, so that the staff
may be prepared for the visit and waiting time is minimized.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
The PCSB seeks to comply fully with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Any member of the public
may submit a request for any document that the PCSB generates
as part of its work, or any documents or data collected from or
about public charter schools. PCSB staff attempt to respond to
all requests for information without delay, and to the fullest extent
possible.
PCSB staff responded to two FOIA requests this year. The
information requested included records on school suspensions
and expulsions, hearings on student discipline, records on
voluntary transfer from charter schools and charter schools
serving as LEAs for special education purposes. Both requests
were fullled within the FOIA requirements.
EDUCATION BUDGET/FACILITIES FUNDING
In the spring of 2009, PCSB members and staff and D.C.
charter advocates successfully inuenced the D.C. Council to
restore $16.7 million to the Mayors budget after $24 million was
originally cut from the charter school facilities allotment. They
also convinced the Council to keep the formula-based approach
to facilities funding rather than changing to the needs-based
approach sought by the Mayor.
D.C. Council Chair Vincent Gray asked PCSB Board Chair Tom
Nida to assemble a working group of charter school stakeholders
to review and discuss possible changes to the current charter
schools facilities allowance and make recommendations to the
Council. The working group recommended to the Council that the
current facilities allowance paid to D.C. public charter schools, at
$3,109 annually per student, be continued for FY10, pending an
independent review of all facilities costs of the D.C. public charter
schools and the DCPS traditional public schools. This review
will determine the actual facilities costs of the entire D.C. public
school system, and as a consequence, determine if current and
projected facilities costs are equitable for all D.C. public school
students. Once this is determined, then equitable adjustments in
facilities costs can be made across the entire D.C. public school
system, for inclusion in future city budgets, starting with FY11. In
a nal vote, the Council reduced the facilities allowance to $2,800
per student for FY 2010 which equates to $16.7 million in facilities
funding.
The facilities working group will continue to meet throughout
the rest of the year and will inform the FY2011 budget process.
PCSB will also participate in an enrollment working group that will
help charter and traditional public schools determine enrollment
projections for the FY2011 budget cycle.
CHARTER SCHOOL AUTONOMY
In addition, the D.C. charter school community successfully
advocated against provisions in the Mayors Budget Support Act
that would compromise charter school autonomy. The four key
provisions removed were:
1) The Ofce of the State Superintendents
(OSSE) responsibility for public charter school
accountability,
2) OSSEs ability to withhold operating funds from
charter schools when out of compliance with state
mandates,
3) OSSEs power to impose standards on public
charter schools, and
4) Treating public charter schools like government
agencies for auditing purposes.
PCSB members and staff will continue to strengthen the
relationships with the Mayor and the Council, by increasing the
PCSBs operational transparency and accountability to all elected
ofcials.

2009 FINANCIAL REVIEW
The 2008-2009 school year marked the twelfth year of operation
for the D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB). The PCSBs
long history of holding public charter schools to high standards
of accountability necessitates that the board hold itself to similar
standards of operational performance.
Once again the PCSBs audited nancial statements for FY08
were exempt from material misstatements and presented fairly all
governmental and major funds activities. In addition, as required
by the Districts auditing requirements, the PCSBs audited
nancials were presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, as well as government auditing standards
for nancial statements issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States.
Table A shows the PCSBs FY09 budget in comparison to
the previous two years. The PCSBs FY2009 (FY09) revenue
projections of $4.0 million represent an increase of $717K,
or 21%, from the FY2008 (FY08) budgeted revenues of $3.4
million. Much of the increase is attributable to an increase in
administrative fees received from public charter schools for
oversight costs and the release of restricted grant funding. Inows
received from the DC government account for 41% of FY09
revenues. However, local funds revenues declined by 3% or $59K
relative to FY08 gures.
Remaining true to historical growth trends, the portfolio of
public charter schools expanded from 52 charters operating
on 82 campuses to 60 charters operating on 96 campuses.
Notwithstanding disproportionate increases in revenue relative
to monitoring costs, the PCSB again maintained, and in some
cases increased, the comprehensive oversight practices
that have made the PCSB a national model for authorizing.
Program-related expenses declined substantially (33%) as a
result of fewer oversight activities being required to ascertain
the programmatic well-being of the 18 former Board of
Education (BOE) authorized charter schools. Many of the
programs-related expenditures incurred during FY08 were
attributable to the need to better understand the programmatic
performance of the former BOE charter schools. For FY09
intense reviews were still conducted, but less frequently. The
steep decline in programs expenditures was offset by sizable
expenditure increases in personnel, facilities, and other related
cost expenditures, these cost centers increased by 18, 6,
and 23%, respectively.

CHART A: DC PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BUDGET FY2009
Excluding grants, which did not come from local coffers,
and administration fees, which are already captured via the
charter schools budget, the PCSBs FY09 local funds revenues
represent about .45% (see Chart A) of the Districts charter
school budget of $366 million and .09% (see Chart B) of the
Districts $1.9 billion total public education budget. The PCSBs
per-student cost to taxpayers for FY09 amounts to approximately
$140 per student the citys average spending per student is
approximately $13K. The $140 per student costs represents a
16% cost reduction relative to FY08 per-student expenditures of
$167 per student. These facts make a strong statement about the
PCSBs value to taxpayers as an independent government agency
which strives to remain lean and efcient.
As a result of the local funds budget reduction,
expenditure reductions were necessary to ensure
a balanced budget at the conclusion of the 2009
scal year. The PCSB prioritized core programs and
only essential staff positions are being funded to
support the reviews, monitoring, support services,
and accountability to stakeholders. Staff also worked
to reduce programmatic outlays to consultants by
redirecting more oversight workow to full-time
employees. Additional funding was allocated toward
programs by aligning restricted grant funding with
program priorities that provided the highest support
levels to schools.
Chart C illustrates the PCSBs proportionate expenditures
relative to revenue for FY09. Personnel and program-
related expenditures account for 56% and 27% of revenues
respectively. Personnel expenditures increased 18% for FY09
in comparison to FY08 gures. The bulk of this increase was
required to support the addition of three new staff members to
the PCSB team. Additionally, our reduced reliance on specialized
consultants for certain program-related reviews required that
additional personnel expenditures be incurred to maintain
appropriate levels of oversight effectiveness. Program-related
expenditures for FY09 declined by 12% relative to FY08 levels as
a result of fewer oversight activities being rendered. The remaining
18% of the budget was spent on facilities expenses and back-
ofce operations.

The D.C. Public Charter
School Boards budget
was .45% of the Public
Charter School Budget
and .09% of D.C.s total
education budget.
Chart D demonstrates that a higher percentage of the PCSBs
revenues came from administrative fees collected from public
charter schools than from the citys budget appropriations in
FY09. Charter schools are billed at the rate of of 1% of their
annual budgets. Revenue from non-taxpayer sources (Other
Revenues) increased slightly as well, primarily as a result of the
boards decision to use restricted grant funds to alleviate budget
pressures. PCSB members and staff remain vigilant about using
taxpayer funding responsibly, efciently and with the highest
levels of transparency. Careful oversight of bookkeeping and
budget discipline will maintain the PCSBs long-standing record of
strong scal management, and will serve the educational interests
of Washington, D.C.s students, families and communities.
