Message from Board Chair
Brian Jones
Reaching for a New Bar
The past year has been an exciting and challenging year of transition for the PCSB and the charter
sector generally. For the Board, we bid farewell to two friends and colleagues, and to a legendary
leader. Dora Marcus and Chairman Tom Nida both left the Board this year.
For the charter sector at large, we enjoyed the continued encouragement and support of the
Obama Administration, working with the Mayor’s Office, OSSE and DCPS to submit a lauded
application for federal Race to the Top funds. However, we have also heeded the call to raise the
bar on charter school performance, resulting in the closure of some low performing charters. While
closing a school—even a low performing one—is difficult for all involved, at the end of the day
my colleagues and I on the PCSB are committed to ensuring that District families find high quality
educational choices among all of the city’s charter schools.
Our former chair Tom Nida led an era of tremendous charter school growth and innovation, which
was the catalyst for the reform efforts in the traditional public school system. Dr. Marcus, the
board’s longest-serving member, contributed her considerable insights on school performance
and evaluation, and served as the board’s Vice Chair during the latter part of her eight years of
service. The two helped establish the board and D.C. as a national model for high quality charter
authorizing, school choice and accountability.
With a critical mass of charter schools serving more than 28,000 students, nearly 40% of the city’s
public education population, we now turn our attention to ensuring that every charter school is
high-performing, all schools are aggressively moving students to proficiency in core subjects and
those schools that do not have the capacity to do so are closed. This year, we will use the results
of our new Performance Management Framework (PMF) to assist with those determinations.
Looking at standardized measures of success across all schools, we will be able to identify which
schools are high-performing, mediocre and low-performing. We look forward to sharing our
findings, and the appropriate rewards and consequences with our stakeholders.
As we advance our mission to provide high quality public school options for D.C. residents, we look
forward to continued service as partners and contributors in the citywide effort to make Washington
D.C. a place rich in innovative, diverse, high-quality educational options for all students.

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.

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.
Charter Applications
Thirteen Applications Received
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) did not
accept or approve any charter applications during the
2008–2009 school year, due to a change in the PCSB’s
operational calendar that year.
After re-opening the charter application process for the
2009–2010 fiscal year, the PCSB received 13 applications
by its February 2010 deadline. The PCSB’s rigorous
application review process included a technical review
of each application, interviews with the founding groups
and proposed principals, then public hearings in which
applicants presented their proposals to the Board and the
public, and community members testified in favor of or in
opposition to the applications.
Four Applications Approved
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) voted
April 19, 2010 to conditionally approve four new public
charter schools. The proposed charter schools are:
Inspired Teaching Demonstration School, Munde Verde
Bilingual School, Shining Stars Montessori Academy and
Richard Wright School for Journalism and Media Arts.
These schools received conditional approval and must
satisfactorily address the required conditions outlined by
the Board before they can be granted a charter to open in
the fall of 2011. Six members of the Board voted on the
applications with its newest member, Emily Bloomfield,
abstaining. Nine school applications were denied.
»» The Inspired Teaching Demonstration School, a
professional learning community of master teachers
and teacher residents, will ensure that a diverse group
of students achieve their potential as accomplished
learners, thoughtful citizens, and imaginative and
inquisitive problem solvers through a demanding,
inquiry-based curriculum. The school plans to serve preschool through 8th grade, but will open with pre-school
through 3rd grade.
»» Mundo Verde Bilingual School aims to foster high
levels of academic achievement among a diverse group
of students by preparing them to be successful and
compassionate global stewards of their communities
through an engaging curriculum focused on sustainability
and bi-literacy. Mundo Verde will initially offer preschool
through 1st grade classes and will add classes each year
until it serves students through the 8th grade.
»» Shining Stars Montessori Academy plans to offer
a quality Montessori education infused with culturally
inclusive principles to guide children to develop to
their fullest potential. In Phase I, the school will have
pre-school, pre-K and kindergarten, and Phase II will
expand to accommodate 1st grade through 6th grade.
»» Richard Wright School for Journalism and Media
Arts aims to transform students in grades 8–12
into well-versed media contributors by providing a
student-centered environment that connects them to
the classics and modern languages and a curriculum
focused on strong writing skills and vocabulary. The Board will grant final approval once all conditions are
satisfactorily addressed including securing a facility to
operate in the 2011–2012 school year.
New School Opening Timeline
The PCSB adopted a new charter school opening
timeline policy in December 2009, which establishes a
15-month timeframe for opening of all newly authorized
public charter schools, including the conversion of D.C.
public schools or existing private or independent schools
to public charter school status. This 15-month window
allows schools to be included in the City’s budget and
provides schools the necessary time to adequately
prepare for opening a new school.

Charter School Oversight
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB), the
authorizer of all D.C. public charter schools, is responsible
for holding these schools accountable for the academic
achievement of students who attend them. To be clear,
the PCSB does not operate public charter schools, nor
does it operate as a centralized school system. Rather,
the PCSB authorizes non-profit boards of trustees to
operate these publicly-funded schools, with independent
responsibility for every input as well as every outcome.
Each school submits academic and operational plans
as a part of their charter application. The progress of
those plans, in terms of student academic outcomes and
management of public funds, is measured through the
PCSB’s comprehensive monitoring and system oversight.
During the 2009–2010 school year,
the PCSB conducted:
67 Program Development Reviews
99 Performance Management
Framework Compliance Reviews
The PCSB’s new Performance Management Framework
(PMF), launched at the start of the 2009–2010 school
year, takes the PCSB’s already comprehensive oversight
system one step further.
The PMF evaluates all D.C. public charter schools using
common academic and non-academic measures, as
well as measures of each school’s unique mission. Each school’s result will be more fairly comparable to
other schools, which will enable the PCSB to make
decisions about rewards to high-performing schools and
consequences and supports to middle, low-performing
and at-risk charter schools. The PCSB’s evaluations
and decisions will be much more transparent to
stakeholders and will empower easier consumer decisionmaking. Additionally, school leaders will have a clearer
understanding of performance expectations and will be
able to use the information obtained from the PMF to
make necessary adjustments to their programs.
PMF results will be reported publicly in early fall 2010. In
addition, the PCSB will share each school’s NCLB and AYP
Report Card. All of this information will be made available
on the PCSB’s website www.dcpubliccharter.com. 5 Self-Study Reviews

in the year before the high-stakes charter review, to
determine if a school is in danger of charter revocation. If
a school could possibly face charter revocation, the PCSB
places the school in Charter Warning status, and provides
specific guidance to avoid revocation.
Eleven schools underwent the preliminary charter review
with the following outcomes:
The PCSB’s monitoring and oversight system includes
self-study reviews of schools that have completed
one year of operation; program development reviews
of schools that have completed two or more years;
compliance, governance reviews and financial reviews
of all schools; high school transcript reviews; preliminary
charter reviews of schools before each high-stakes
charter review, which takes place every five years; and
charter renewal every 15 years.

Charter Review
The PCSB conducts a high-stakes review every five years,
which determines whether a charter school has served
students well enough to continue another five years.
Seven schools underwent the Charter Review with the
following outcomes:

continuance
»» E.L. Haynes PCS – Granted full charter continuance
»» Two Rivers PCS – Granted full charter continuance
»» DC Bilingual PCS – Granted full charter continuance
»» Hospitality PCS – Granted conditional charter
continuance
»» Meridian PCS – Granted full charter continuance
»» William E. Doar, Jr. PCS for Performing Arts − Granted

The PCSB’s
evaluations and
decisions will
be much more
transparent to
stakeholders and
will empower easier
consumer decisionmaking.

this initiative, the U.S. Department of
Education invites Cabinet members
and public officials to read books to
children, promote healthy lifestyles
and participate in games and
fitness activities with children in prekindergarten through third grade.
D.C. Achievers Scholarship Program
This year, students from Maya Angelou Public Charter High School, Thurgood Marshall Public Charter High
School and Friendship Collegiate Public Charter High School graduated with D.C. Achievers Scholarships that
provide up to $50,000 over four to five years for college expenses at four-year colleges or universities all over
the country. The D.C. Achievers Scholarship Program is a multifaceted scholarship program that supports
students from six high schools in Washington, D.C. that have high percentages of low-income students.
Students recieve support services while in high school and through their college career. The scholarship
program is funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The first cohort of applicants was
selected in 2007 and entered college in 2008. To date, 500 low-income youth in the District of Columbia have
participated in the program.
Stakeholder Engagement
The D.C. Public Charter School Board
Website
The PCSB’s new, enhanced website was launched in
November 2009. The site is easier to navigate, with
content targeted to students, parents, community
members, journalists, researchers and other interested in
the PCSB’s work and information about charter schools.
New interactive features include a searchable database
to find information about charter schools, subscriptions
to content-specific updates and a special area just for
school leaders. www.dcpubliccharter.com
Google Analytics reports that there are an average of
10,000 visits and 40,000 page views to the website per
month, with about 40,000 page views.
Monthly Board Meetings
Public hearings
Public hearings are held primarily for three reasons: 1) as
part of the charter application process; 2) when a school
requests to amend its charter agreement; and 3) when
a school has exercised it right to an informal hearing in
response to a board proposal to revoke the school’s
charter. In each case, members of the public are asked
to participate, by listening to the proposals presented and
giving input on the impact of the possible decisions on the
community.
The PCSB hosted eight public hearings; one on
applications, two on charter revocation proposals, and
five charter amendment requests.
Community Forums
The PCSB hosts community forums to discuss with
community members decisions that may impact their
communities directly. The forums are also intended to
provide information to help parents and students make
informed decisions about charter schools.
PCSB hosted two community forums related to school
closures, to help families understand the reason for
the closures and to assist them with transitions to new
schools. The two forums, for students attending Young
America Works and for students enrolled at ALTA and
Children’s Studio School, also included enrollment fairs to
which charter and traditional schools were invited to share
information about their programs.
Public Testimony
PCSB board meetings take place on the third Monday
of every month, usually at 7:30pm, at the PCSB
headquarters. These meetings, in which all board
decisions are made, are always open to the public. There
are designated times for public officials and community
members to offer comments on any topics pertaining to
the PCSB or charter schools. The date, time and agenda
of each board meeting are posted on the PCSB website.
During the 2009–2010 fiscal year, the PCSB hosted 13
board meetings, all except two took place at the PCSB
headquarters. Board members voted on charter school
requests, charter reviews, sanctions and notices related
to school performance, and board policy changes.
Each year PCSB members provide testimony during
public hearings held by the Council of the District of
Columbia, the State Board of Education, and the U.S.
Congress, on topics related to PCSB performance and
accountability, charter school performance, and citywide
issues affecting children and youth.
PCSB members and leadership provided testimony
at 10 hearings, held by the D.C. Council, the State
Board of Education and the U.S. Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee.
Social Media
With the addition of the new website, PCSB has added
social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtube
Council chairman Vincent Gray, PCSB Executive Director
Josephine Baker and PCSB member Darren Woodruff with
families at the D.C. Charter School Expo in January 2010
to interact with community members where they already
are. PCSB staff tweet all of the board meetings as well as
important board updates. The PCSB’s Facebook page
also provides opportunities for Facebook users to stay
abreast of board news and offer comments. PCSB’s
Youtube channel shows videos produced by charter school
students, school leaders and community members about
charter school opportunities and experiences.
Media Relations
The PCSB communications team manages regular
engagement with print, television, radio and web-based
journalists. PCSB spokespersons offer information on
charter school performance, expert input on relevant
issues, announcements of board decisions and policy
statements and facilitate the research and investigation of
issues for stories in the public interest.
PCSB staff issued more than 50 news releases, facilitated
dozens of interviews with media outlets, and provided
background information and statistics for numerous news
stories.
Intergovernmental Relations
PCSB members and staff interact regularly with other D.C.
Government agencies on the PCSB’s accountability, charter
school performance and on collaborative efforts of agencies
that serve and support children, youth and families.
PCSB members and staff participated in meetings, working
groups, and community events, with Mayor Adrian Fenty,
D.C. councilmembers and staff, the Office of the State
Superintendent of Education, the Office of Deputy Mayor for
Education and staff, D.C. Public Schools, the Office of the
City Administrator, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, the
D.C. Department of Health, and other agencies regarding
the city’s education budget, special education services,
school closings, school safety, early childhood education,
healthy children, and common core standards, among other
topics.
Special Events
PCSB members and staff host or participate in special
events to raise awareness of the PCSB’s role in education
reform solutions and charter school options available to
D.C. families.
The PCSB was again a participating sponsor in the 2009
D.C. Family Education Expo in fall 2009, sponsored the
first annual D.C. Charter School Expo and Recruitment
Fair in January 2010, a participating sponsor of Stone
Soul Picnic in summer 2009 and hosted an Open House
and Community Meet and Greet during National Charter
Schools week in May 2010.
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 new releases, at least once per month.
Subscriptions to the community email list increased from
600 members in 2008–2009 fiscal year to 1100 members
during the 2009–2010 fiscal year.
Freedom of Information Act
The PCSB seeks to comply 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 11 FOIA requests, related to
school performance, financial data, parental complaints,
and board decisions.
Legislative Highlights
Healthy SchoolS Act
In the winter and spring of 2010, PCSB staff and charter
advocates worked with the staff of Council member
Mary Cheh’s to develop the Healthy Schools Act. This
legislation will require schools to serve more nutritious
meals, increase physical and health education, and
improve environmental, health and wellness programs
in all D.C. public schools. The new law, which goes into
effect in August 2010, will raise the nutritional standards
and improve the quality of school meals. It will put more
fresh, local fruits and vegetables on students’ plates.
The legislation will allow schools to provide free breakfast
in all schools and require breakfast to be served in the
classroom in schools with high poverty rates. The Healthy
Schools Act will be funded by extending the District’s
6 percent sales tax to include the sale of sweetened
beverages.
Public Charter School Facilities
Working Group
Last year, D.C. Council Chair Vincent Gray asked the
PCSB to establish the Public Charter School Facilities
Allotment Working Group to research and recommend
an appropriate cost-based formula for the public charter
school facilities allotment for FY2011 and future fiscal
years. The group found that the actual costs for facilities to
charter schools exceed the allotment the schools receive
each year. The ideal formula for figuring the annual public
charter school facilities allowance would meet both equity
and sufficiency tests. The working group suggested that
given FY 2011 budget realities, the sufficiency test cannot
be met. However, it can and should be a goal for future
budgets. In the Mayor’s FY 2011 budget the facilities per
pupil allotment was increased to $3,000 from $2,880. In
addition, the per pupil funding was increased to $8,945
per student – a 2% increase from the previous year.
The FY 2011 budget also establishes an independent
public education finance reform commission to study
and report on the Uniform Per Student Funding Formula
with regard to improving equity, adequacy, affordability
and transparency. The commission will also make
recommendations for increasing uniformity in the 2013
budget and succeeding years; examine weaknesses in
the funding formula or in implementation that interfere with
uniformity of funding.
Public Education Facilities Planning
The Mayor will also establish an Office of Public
Education Facilities Planning within the Office of the
Deputy Mayor for Education, responsible for the
development of the Master Facilities Plan, which shall
function as a citywide public education facilities plan.
The PCSB will participate in this facilities planning by
providing educational plans and policies for charter
schools; establishing a public charter school facilities
registry in which charter schools will have the opportunity
to register to receive facilities planning and technical
support from the planning office.
PCSB members and staff will continue to strengthen
the relationships with the Mayor and the Council, by
increasing the PCSB’s operational transparency and
accountability to all elected officials.

2010 Financial Report
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) has a
long history of holding public charter schools to high
standards of fiscal and operational accountability and in
turn must be accountable to similar standards. Fiscal Year
2009–2010 marks the PCSB’s 13th year of operation.
PCSB’s audited financial statements, as determined by
independent auditor Kendall, Prebola and Jones, C. P.
A., were exempt from material misstatements and fairly
presented all governmental and major funds activities
for the 12-month operating period ending September
30, 2009 (FY2009). In addition, as required per District
auditing requirements, PCSB’s FY2009 audited financial
statements were presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, as well as, standards
applicable to financial statements per government
auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States.
Table A shows the PCSB’s FY2010 budget in
comparison to that of the previous two fiscal periods.
PCSB’s FY2010 revenue projection of $7.0 million
represents an increase of $1.9 million, or 37%, over
FY2009 actual revenues of $5.1 million. Most of the
revenue growth (50%) is attributable to the anticipated
receipt of federal grant funds ($1.4 million) to support
the enhancement of PCSB’s oversight platform and
the release of previously restricted private grant funds
($1.5 million). Appropriations received from the D.C.
government account for 24% of FY10 revenues.
Consistent with historical growth trends, the charter
sector expanded in terms of student population, from
25,568 students in SY 2008–2009 to 27,660 in SY 2009–
2010. One new school opened, and six schools added
additional campuses, for a total of 57 charter schools on
99 campuses. The additional monitoring costs outpaced
the increases in revenue, yet 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 are anticipated to increase
substantially (62%) as a result of new oversight platforms
being implemented to better monitor the programmatic
performance of the charter schools. Approximately $745K
of the program’s budget has been allocated to reimburse
schools for information technology enhancements to
affect school reporting to PCSB. Another $891K is

Chart C illustrates the PCSB’s proportionate
expenditures relative to revenue for FY2010. Personnel
and program-related expenditures account for 32% and
58% of revenues respectively. Personnel expenditures
are expected to increase 16% for FY2010 relative to
FY2009 figures. The bulk of this increase was required
to support the addition of three new staff members to
the PCSB team. Additionally, a reduced reliance on
specialized consultants for certain programs-related
reviews required that additional personnel expenditures
be incurred to maintain appropriate levels of oversight
effectiveness. Programs-related expenditures for
FY2010 are expected to increase by 62% relative to
FY2009 levels as a result of the implementation of
specialized oversight platforms and technical assistance
initiatives being implemented to enhance the quality of
charter school governance, financial management and
leadership capacities. The remaining 10% of the budget
is slated to be spent on facilities expenses and backoffice operations.
Chart D demonstrates that a higher percentage of the
PCSB’s revenues came from non-local revenue sources
than from administration fees received from charter
schools or the city’s budget appropriations in FY2010.
Charter schools are billed at the rate of ½ of 1% of their
annual budgets. This reverses a 12-year trend whereby

PCSB has historically received more from local coffers
than from non-local coffers. The organization continues to
solicit funds from private donors to enhance the quality of
charter school oversight in the District.
PCSB members and staff remain vigilant about using
taxpayer funding responsibly, efficiently, and with
the highest levels of transparency. Careful oversight
of bookkeeping and budget discipline will maintain
the PCSB’s long-standing record of strong fiscal
management, and will serve the educational interests of
Washington, D.C.’s students, families and communities.
