Abstract:

Over the past decade, the District of Columbia has made strides in offering families greater choice about which schools their children attend, thanks to a strong charter school law and the federally funded D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. District leaders and Members of Congress should implement policies to give all District families the opportunity to choose good schools for their children.
