I’m wondering how they didn’t have a plan already figured out by now.


Because everyone expected the mayor to announce that schools were closed for the rest of the year but the announcement that distance learning would end 2.5 weeks before the planned end of the year was a surprise? Just guessing. Lots of charters try to follow DCPS's schedule, but it can be really hard to do that when DCPS's decisions are unexpected.

The mayor’s office specifically said charter schools would be ending distance learning “on or about” May 29th because they have the power to do what they want. As previously stated, KIPP is ending distance learning on June 12th.

No I think charter schools have flexibility on this.

EL Haynes just announced on Twitter that they would be distance learning for the remainder of the year. Didn’t specify a date though.

I expect almost all will close by May 29. Just a little more time needed to have boards make the decision official.

I wonder if any will not follow it. I think it would help to know more about why they are doing it. Our charter said they need to discuss with their board first, as they are not beholden to DCPS calendar.

Have any of you received updates from charter schools that they will end their school year early, now that DCPS has announced their school year will now end on May 29?

We have one kid in DCPS, and one kid at Cap City which just texted to say they would have more details and an announcement on Monday about the end of the school year.
