2010 D.C. Public Charter School Board Annual Report 1
The past year has been an exciting and challenging year of transition for the PCSB and the charter
sector generally. For the Board, we bid farewell to two friends and colleagues, and to a legendary
leader. Dora Marcus and Chairman Tom Nida both left the Board this year.
For the charter sector at large, we enjoyed the continued encouragement and support of the
Obama Administration, working with the Mayors Ofce, OSSE and DCPS to submit a lauded
application for federal Race to the Top funds. However, we have also heeded the call to raise the
bar on charter school performance, resulting in the closure of some low performing charters. While
closing a schooleven a low performing oneis difcult for all involved, at the end of the day
my colleagues and I on the PCSB are committed to ensuring that District families nd high quality
educational choices among all of the citys charter schools.
Our former chair Tom Nida led an era of tremendous charter school growth and innovation, which
was the catalyst for the reform efforts in the traditional public school system. Dr. Marcus, the
boards longest-serving member, contributed her considerable insights on school performance
and evaluation, and served as the boards Vice Chair during the latter part of her eight years of
service. The two helped establish the board and D.C. as a national model for high quality charter
authorizing, school choice and accountability.
With a critical mass of charter schools serving more than 28,000 students, nearly 40% of the citys
public education population, we now turn our attention to ensuring that every charter school is
high-performing, all schools are aggressively moving students to prociency in core subjects and
those schools that do not have the capacity to do so are closed. This year, we will use the results
of our new Performance Management Framework (PMF) to assist with those determinations.
Looking at standardized measures of success across all schools, we will be able to identify which
schools are high-performing, mediocre and low-performing. We look forward to sharing our
ndings, and the appropriate rewards and consequences with our stakeholders.
As we advance our mission to provide high quality public school options for D.C. residents, we look
forward to continued service as partners and contributors in the citywide effort to make Washington
D.C. a place rich in innovative, diverse, high-quality educational options for all students.

The D. C. Public Charter School Boards
mission denes its four key functions:
2010 D.C. Public Charter School Board Annual Report 7
8 2010 D.C. Public Charter School Board Annual Report
THIRTEEN APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) did not
accept or approve any charter applications during the
20082009 school year, due to a change in the PCSBs
operational calendar that year.
After re-opening the charter application process for the
20092010 scal year, the PCSB received 13 applications
by its February 2010 deadline. The PCSBs rigorous
application review process included a technical review
of each application, interviews with the founding groups
and proposed principals, then public hearings in which
applicants presented their proposals to the Board and the
public, and community members testied in favor of or in
opposition to the applications.
FOUR APPLICATIONS APPROVED
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) voted
April 19, 2010 to conditionally approve four new public
charter schools. The proposed charter schools are:
Inspired Teaching Demonstration School, Munde Verde
Bilingual School, Shining Stars Montessori Academy and
Richard Wright School for Journalism and Media Arts.
These schools received conditional approval and must
satisfactorily address the required conditions outlined by
the Board before they can be granted a charter to open in
the fall of 2011. Six members of the Board voted on the
applications with its newest member, Emily Bloomeld,
abstaining. Nine school applications were denied.
The Inspired Teaching Demonstration School , a
professional learning community of master teachers
and teacher residents, will ensure that a diverse group
of students achieve their potential as accomplished
learners, thoughtful citizens, and imaginative and
inquisitive problem solvers through a demanding,
inquiry-based curriculum. The school plans to serve pre-
school through 8
th
grade, but will open with pre-school
through 3
rd
grade.
Mundo Verde Bilingual School aims to foster high
levels of academic achievement among a diverse group
of students by preparing them to be successful and
compassionate global stewards of their communities
through an engaging curriculum focused on sustainability
and bi-literacy. Mundo Verde will initially offer preschool
through 1st grade classes and will add classes each year
until it serves students through the 8th grade.
Shining Stars Montessori Academy plans to offer
a quality Montessori education infused with culturally
inclusive principles to guide children to develop to
their fullest potential. In Phase I, the school will have
pre-school, pre-K and kindergarten, and Phase II will
expand to accommodate 1
st
grade through 6
th
grade.
Richard Wright School for Journalism and Media
Arts aims to transform students in grades 812
into well-versed media contributors by providing a
student-centered environment that connects them to
the classics and modern languages and a curriculum
focused on strong writing skills and vocabulary.
The Board will grant nal approval once all conditions are
satisfactorily addressed including securing a facility to
operate in the 20112012 school year.
NEW SCHOOL OPENING TIMELINE
The PCSB adopted a new charter school opening
timeline policy in December 2009, which establishes a
15-month timeframe for opening of all newly authorized
public charter schools, including the conversion of D.C.
public schools or existing private or independent schools
to public charter school status. This 15-month window
allows schools to be included in the Citys budget and
provides schools the necessary time to adequately
prepare for opening a new school.

Charter School Oversight
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB), the
authorizer of all D.C. public charter schools, is responsible
for holding these schools accountable for the academic
achievement of students who attend them. To be clear,
the PCSB does not operate public charter schools, nor
does it operate as a centralized school system. Rather,
the PCSB authorizes non-prot boards of trustees to
operate these publicly-funded schools, with independent
responsibility for every input as well as every outcome.
Each school submits academic and operational plans
as a part of their charter application. The progress of
those plans, in terms of student academic outcomes and
management of public funds, is measured through the
PCSBs comprehensive monitoring and system oversight.
The PCSBs monitoring and oversight system includes
self-study reviews of schools that have completed
one year of operation; program development reviews
of schools that have completed two or more years;
compliance, governance reviews and nancial reviews
of all schools; high school transcript reviews; preliminary
charter reviews of schools before each high-stakes
charter review, which takes place every ve years; and
charter renewal every 15 years.

(PMF), launched at the start of the 20092010 school
year, takes the PCSBs already comprehensive oversight
system one step further.
The PMF evaluates all D.C. public charter schools using
common academic and non-academic measures, as
well as measures of each schools unique mission.
Each schools result will be more fairly comparable to
other schools, which will enable the PCSB to make
decisions about rewards to high-performing schools and
consequences and supports to middle, low-performing
and at-risk charter schools. The PCSBs evaluations
and decisions will be much more transparent to
stakeholders and will empower easier consumer decision-
making. Additionally, school leaders will have a clearer
understanding of performance expectations and will be
able to use the information obtained from the PMF to
make necessary adjustments to their programs.
PMF results will be reported publicly in early fall 2010. In
addition, the PCSB will share each schools NCLB and AYP
Report Card. All of this information will be made available
on the PCSBs website www.dcpubliccharter.com.
Review Outcomes
PRELIMINARY CHARTER REVIEW

specic guidance to avoid revocation.

placed in Charter Warning status

THE D.C. PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD
WEBSITE
The PCSBs new, enhanced website was launched in
November 2009. The site is easier to navigate, with

Legislative Highlights
HEALTHY SCHOOLS ACT
In the winter and spring of 2010, PCSB staff and charter
advocates worked with the staff of Council member
Mary Chehs to develop the Healthy Schools Act. This
legislation will require schools to serve more nutritious
meals, increase physical and health education, and
improve environmental, health and wellness programs
in all D.C. public schools. The new law, which goes into
effect in August 2010, will raise the nutritional standards
and improve the quality of school meals. It will put more
fresh, local fruits and vegetables on students plates.
The legislation will allow schools to provide free breakfast
in all schools and require breakfast to be served in the
classroom in schools with high poverty rates. The Healthy
Schools Act will be funded by extending the Districts
6 percent sales tax to include the sale of sweetened
beverages.
PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITIES
WORKING GROUP
Last year, D.C. Council Chair Vincent Gray asked the
PCSB to establish the Public Charter School Facilities
Allotment Working Group to research and recommend
an appropriate cost-based formula for the public charter
school facilities allotment for FY2011 and future scal
years. The group found that the actual costs for facilities to
charter schools exceed the allotment the schools receive
each year. The ideal formula for guring the annual public
charter school facilities allowance would meet both equity
and sufciency tests. The working group suggested that
given FY 2011 budget realities, the sufciency test cannot
be met. However, it can and should be a goal for future
budgets. In the Mayors FY 2011 budget the facilities per
pupil allotment was increased to $3,000 from $2,880. In
addition, the per pupil funding was increased to $8,945
per student a 2% increase from the previous year.
The FY 2011 budget also establishes an independent
public education nance reform commission to study
and report on the Uniform Per Student Funding Formula
with regard to improving equity, adequacy, affordability
and transparency. The commission will also make
recommendations for increasing uniformity in the 2013
budget and succeeding years; examine weaknesses in
the funding formula or in implementation that interfere with
uniformity of funding.
PUBLIC EDUCATION FACILITIES PLANNING
The Mayor will also establish an Ofce of Public
Education Facilities Planning within the Ofce of the
Deputy Mayor for Education, responsible for the
development of the Master Facilities Plan, which shall
function as a citywide public education facilities plan.
The PCSB will participate in this facilities planning by
providing educational plans and policies for charter
schools; establishing a public charter school facilities
registry in which charter schools will have the opportunity
to register to receive facilities planning and technical
support from the planning ofce.
PCSB members and staff will continue to strengthen
the relationships with the Mayor and the Council, by
increasing the PCSBs operational transparency and
accountability to all elected ofcials.

2010 Financial Report
The D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) has a
long history of holding public charter schools to high
standards of scal and operational accountability and in
turn must be accountable to similar standards. Fiscal Year
20092010 marks the PCSBs 13th year of operation.
PCSBs audited nancial statements, as determined by
independent auditor Kendall, Prebola and Jones, C. P.
A., were exempt from material misstatements and fairly
presented all governmental and major funds activities
for the 12-month operating period ending September
30, 2009 (FY2009). In addition, as required per District
auditing requirements, PCSBs FY2009 audited nancial
statements were presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, as well as, standards
applicable to nancial statements per government
auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States.
Table A shows the PCSBs FY2010 budget in
comparison to that of the previous two scal periods.
PCSBs FY2010 revenue projection of $7.0 million
represents an increase of $1.9 million, or 37%, over
FY2009 actual revenues of $5.1 million. Most of the
revenue growth (50%) is attributable to the anticipated
receipt of federal grant funds ($1.4 million) to support
the enhancement of PCSBs oversight platform and
the release of previously restricted private grant funds
($1.5 million). Appropriations received from the D.C.
government account for 24% of FY10 revenues.
Consistent with historical growth trends, the charter
sector expanded in terms of student population, from
25,568 students in SY 20082009 to 27,660 in SY 2009
2010. One new school opened, and six schools added
additional campuses, for a total of 57 charter schools on
99 campuses. The additional monitoring costs outpaced
the increases in revenue, yet the PCSB again maintained,
and in some cases increased, the comprehensive
oversight practices that have made the PCSB a national
model for authorizing.
Program-related expenses are anticipated to increase
substantially (62%) as a result of new oversight platforms
being implemented to better monitor the programmatic
performance of the charter schools. Approximately $745K
of the programs budget has been allocated to reimburse
schools for information technology enhancements to
affect school reporting to PCSB. Another $891K is

earmarked to assist PCSB in the enhancement of its own
information technology infrastructure. Personnel, facilities,
and other costs centers increased by 16%, 10%, and
10%, respectively.
Excluding grants which did not come from local coffers
and administration fees which are already captured via
the charter schools budget, the PCSBs FY2010 local
funds revenues represent about .41% (see Chart A) of
the Districts $405 million charter school budget and and
.18% (see Chart B) of the Districts
$2.02 billion total public education
budget. Our per-student cost to
taxpayers for FY2010 amounts to
approximately $195 per student-
the citys average spending per
student is approximately $14K.
The $195 per student costs
represents a 27% cost increase
relative to FY2009 per student
expenditures of $153 per student.
These facts make a strong
statement about the PCSBs value
to taxpayers as an independent
government agency which strives
to remain lean and efcient.
Similar to past scal years,
PCSB continues to prioritize
core programs to support the
reviews, monitoring, support
services, and accountability to
stakeholders. The organization
also continues to work to
reduce programmatic outlays to
consultants by redirecting more oversight workow to full-
time employees. Even though projected total consultant-
related programs outlays are substantially higher ($1.5
million) than they were for FY2009, the average-costs per
consultant engagement remains steady at approximately
$3,500 per engagement (review-specic engagements).

PCSB has historically received more from local coffers
than from non-local coffers. The organization continues to
solicit funds from private donors to enhance the quality of
charter school oversight in the District.
PCSB members and staff remain vigilant about using
taxpayer funding responsibly, efciently, and with
the highest levels of transparency. Careful oversight
of bookkeeping and budget discipline will maintain
the PCSBs long-standing record of strong scal
management, and will serve the educational interests of
Washington, D.C.s students, families and communities.
Chart C illustrates the PCSBs proportionate
expenditures relative to revenue for FY2010. Personnel
and program-related expenditures account for 32% and
58% of revenues respectively. Personnel expenditures
are expected to increase 16% for FY2010 relative to
FY2009 gures. The bulk of this increase was required
to support the addition of three new staff members to
the PCSB team. Additionally, a reduced reliance on
specialized consultants for certain programs-related
reviews required that additional personnel expenditures
be incurred to maintain appropriate levels of oversight
effectiveness. Programs-related expenditures for
FY2010 are expected to increase by 62% relative to
FY2009 levels as a result of the implementation of
specialized oversight platforms and technical assistance
initiatives being implemented to enhance the quality of
charter school governance, nancial management and
leadership capacities. The remaining 10% of the budget
is slated to be spent on facilities expenses and back-
ofce operations.
Chart D demonstrates that a higher percentage of the
PCSBs revenues came from non-local revenue sources
than from administration fees received from charter
schools or the citys budget appropriations in FY2010.
Charter schools are billed at the rate of of 1% of their
annual budgets. This reverses a 12-year trend whereby
