More than 90,000 students are enrolled in public schools in the District of Columbia. OSSE is required to annually collect enrollment counts of resident students, nonresident students, students with disabilities, all students attending all public and public charter schools in the District, children in pre-K3 and pre-K4 programs in community based organizations receiving Pre-K Enhancement funds, and students whose tuition or education in schools or programs is paid for with District funds. This count must be completed on Oct. 5, or the following business day, of each school year. OSSE is then required to conduct an audit to verify the accuracy of the enrollment counts including DC residency status. OSSE works collaboratively with local education agencies to ensure that LEAs/schools understand and follow the requirements for student enrollment and residency.
