About us
The DC State Board of Education is an independent agency within the executive branch of the Government of the District of Columbia that works to advise the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), which is the District’s state education agency. The Board is comprised of nine elected representatives, each representing their respective wards, with one member representing DC at large, in addition to two student representatives. While OSSE oversees education within the District and manages federal education funding, the Board approves education policies, sets academic standards, and determines teacher qualifications. The State Board views its role in the achievement of this mission as one of shared responsibility, whereby it engages families, students, educators, community members, elected officials and business leaders to play a vital role in preparing every child for college and/or career success.

Explore the cases for and against cellphone bans in The State Board Slate's latest ⬇️ #Cellphones aren't particularly new to #school settings anymore. Yet, post-pandemic, the debate about #students' in-school use of them is seemingly bigger than ever. Broadly speaking, it seems that some measure of cellphone control is wanted of late. Eighteen states since 2023 have issued some sort of order to curb in-school use. Should the District follow suit?

Decades of economic disenfranchisement have harmed communities east of the Anacostia. Today, as a result, more than 40% of the Ward 7 and Ward 8 children live below the federal poverty line. And, more than 90% of the communities' DCPS schools have been designated Title I, meaning tough cuts to academic, extracurricular and technological services for students. Is the fix to longstanding resource disparities formalizing high-quality education as a District civil right? Read our blog to explore that idea with us. Don't have time to read?

Civil rights wins in the late 20th century greatly expanded education opportunities for Black Americans. In decades since, those education opportunities have translated into real-world economic gains. Since 1964, Black Americans' representation in high-paying professional and managerial workforces has grown more than 200 percent. Despite that progress, though, resourcing disparities continue to hamper students in historically marginalized, disenfranchised DC communities. The State Board has wondered: Could making high-quality education a civil right help eliminate District achievement gaps? Read our blog to explore that question with us ⬇️ Don't have the time to read it? Listen instead: bit.ly/3D8kuTx. #EducationPolicy #EducationLeadership #DCStateBoard
