The DC Prep Board convened on February 1, 2025, to discuss significant developments regarding the construction of the new Anacostia Elementary campus. The meeting primarily focused on a key voting item related to the relocation of the school from its current site on B Street to the newly constructed facility at the Wilkinson Building.

Board members confirmed that construction is progressing well, remaining on track, on time, and within budget. The new building is expected to be completed by August 2025, with students set to move in at the beginning of September. This transition is seen as a crucial step in enhancing educational facilities for the community.

The board unanimously approved the motion to authorize the school's relocation, which will also require a vote from the Public Charter School Board (PCSB). This procedural step emphasizes the importance of governance in the transition process, ensuring that all necessary approvals are secured for the upcoming school year.

In addition to the relocation vote, the board reflected on previous discussions regarding the condition of existing facilities and the need for investment in renovations. The finance and real estate committee has been actively exploring options to improve educational spaces, highlighting the ongoing commitment to providing quality learning environments for students.

Overall, the meeting underscored DC Prep's proactive approach to facility management and its dedication to enhancing educational opportunities within the community. As the new school year approaches, the successful completion of the Anacostia Elementary campus will be a significant milestone for the organization and the families it serves.
