Charter School Closures Strand D.C. Students

Less than two weeks before the first day of school, dozens of District parents are scrambling to find a school for their children after two popular charter schools closed this summer.

D.C. ParentSmart, an information and resource center sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, has logged dozens of calls from frustrated parents since the New School for Enterprise and Development in Northeast closed in June and Sasha Bruce Public Charter School in Northeast closed last month. The closure of Sasha Bruce has hit parents particularly hard, since it happened just three weeks ago and thrust parents into the competitive charter school landscape when slots are scarce.
