About Us

The NCLB Program is a cooperative effort between the DC Public Charter School Board and the DC Board of Education Public Charter School Office, the two authorizers for charter schools for the District of Columbia. The program provides technical assistance to DC charter schools so they can meet the new Title I requirements. The program:

1) educates the community about charter schools and NCLB, it

2) provides school-based technical academic assistance for schools that did not make AYP, and

3) it offers systemic training and support for data-driven-decision making, which is the crux of NCLB.

The NCLB team is comprised of three full time staff, the program manager and two charter school liaisons, one for each charter school authorizer.

The program is made possible by a generous grant from the Washington DC City Government.
