Meet the inaugural Strong Schools Policy Fellowship cohort!

A bold group of leaders ready to shape the future of public education in DC.

Welcome, Cohort 1—we’re glad you’re here 💪🏾📚

#StrongSchoolsPolicyFellowship #Cohort1 #StrongPublicSchoolsDC

We recently joined 80+ civil rights + education orgs opposing the unlawful transfer of key Dept. of Ed functions to other agencies.

This move harms students and weakens civil rights protections.

Congress must step in.

CSPS DC advances education equity across all eight wards. We fight for every student—especially Black, Brown, and low-income kids—to attend a strong DCPS or charter school. We elevate smart policy, develop leaders, and convene partners to strengthen public education.
