D.C. Schools Enrollment Projections Closely Kept

dcogcadmin | January 13, 2010

As Bill Turque reports in his new blog (D.C. Schools Insider), despite much lip service to transparency the District’s public school enrollment projections are not being released to the public until the Mayor submits his budget to the D.C. Council, in March.  Principals received the enrollment projections for the 2010-11 school year on January 4th and had two days to appeal, so the numbers are now final. However, Chancellor Michelle Rhee’s office has said they are still preliminary and being used by schools in developing their budgets.  Turque also comments generally on the city’s FOIA process, noting that two requests he sent in September have yet to receive a response.  D.C.
