The second annual DC Charter Conference, hosted by FOCUS on February 1st, 2018, brought together more than 400 public charter school leaders, administrators, board members, and other stakeholders.

Conference participants spent the day:

  • Learning from more than 100 inspiring speakers about issues facing DC’s public charter schools.
  • Sharing innovations and best practices throughout 37 interactive workshops.
  • Inspiring each other to engage in advocacy that strengthens our movement.

The theme for the 2018 conference was Excellence & Equity. Excellent schools are committed to equitable access, opportunity, and outcomes for all students.              
         
DC’s public charter school leaders continue to demonstrate the strength of this commitment by striving to dismantle the link between race and poverty to eliminate the opportunity gap for students.
