Hillary, a DC Prep staff member leading the Aspire work, told trustees the new Aspire system replaces the district’s pre-COVID performance management framework and will weigh 90% state and system metrics and 10% school-selected measures. “It is 10% of our score, and we have to select 2 different measures,” Hillary said, adding that each measure will count for 5 percentage points of the school-specific portion.

The board’s negotiated priorities for middle schools include algebra 1 enrollment (and participation in the Algebra 1 state assessment) as a measure of equitable access and a growth measure—median growth percentile in math across grades 6–8—for students identified as \"at risk.\" For elementary schools the staff recommended a K–2 math growth metric (NWEA/MAP growth percentile) and reenrollment rate for students who remain in the District of Columbia. Hillary described algebra 1 participation as “something that showcases the rigor of our program” and said DC Prep is “the only school where all students take the Algebra 1 test,” a point staff want to use both for accountability and recruitment.

Board members asked for clarification on technical definitions. Hillary and other staff explained that “median growth percentile” is a relative growth measure (a student-level growth percentile aggregated to a school median) and that PCSB’s business rules set the exact thresholds for earning partial or full points (a typical range is a 30–70 band for growth). The board also asked staff to provide clearer explanatory materials about growth calculations for the PCSB negotiation.

On a motion identified in the record as Terry’s motion to authorize staff to pursue negotiations with PCSB on the proposed metrics, the board voted in favor; the motion carried. Trustees asked staff to return with final details after negotiations and additional explanatory material for the board and for families.

The decision does not finalize the metrics; it authorizes DC Prep staff to negotiate with PCSB within the set of options discussed and return with the negotiated language and any required business rules. Staff said they would pursue definitions that are quantifiable and provable under PCSB rules and would report back to the board after negotiations.

Ending: Trustees and staff signaled the next step will be a follow-up report after negotiations with PCSB, and staff said they will provide clearer explanatory language about growth metrics for board review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","DC Prep February 2025 Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","DC Prep PCS trustees voted to authorize staff to negotiate selected school-specific performance measures with the Public Charter School Board (PCSB) under the new Aspire framework.","taxTitle","DC Prep PCS, School Boards, District of Columbia","taxId",70475,"location","","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":72,"_74":72},6289638,"DC Prep board authorizes Anacostia elementary campus relocation to Wilkinson Building",60,2716000,2776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532266-7c04fa4881e9fc787305549324447ba4&start=2716&end=2776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532266-7c04fa4881e9fc787305549324447ba4/thumbnail_2716000.jpg","/articles/6289638/DC-Prep-board-authorizes-Anacostia-elementary-campus-relocation-to-Wilkinson-Building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289638-7e3f8fc52ff7a73c3d046a9e3f5fee67/orig.mp4?Expires=1770726831&Signature=T7XYXL84~1PNt-hAt7Q~yKQvaDtwZpUMZiucMSgrg6ElUe0qX7-aW~dTjGTT-pA-XGsBM4aqNvXEQsQxBb357tVmcJ4jTv~yXYlUdXSEtBO30ivXqsMYDk-R~W9DPo6ovybYHB8m3Saa1VykQrqdA1CFX7FjoLPvGQ7wkIfRqhue5~d3vNNn4KZkGlKkiCcG4TpI-gRqivYouQuE~uub8OJ4IFODXtWYbF-1wL3uD0trS4zKOhVfedKB0h4V51kGkjnXI8FSYjJ6pI6VCHYt2KdrUSTQbhTiMt09pKtWWD5QBj281k~mXPhF5sFYS7R~AUk9H5yElBkUytgr5ifd3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","DC Prep PCS trustees voted to authorize the relocation of the Anacostia Elementary campus from its current B Street site to the Wilkinson Building, where it will join Anacostia Middle, for the coming school year.

Emily, a DC Prep staff member providing a facilities update, told the board construction of the Wilkinson Building site is on schedule and within budget. “The building will be done in August, and students will be in there for August, beginning of September,” Emily said. The board then voted to authorize DC Prep to move the elementary program to the Wilkinson site; the motion carried on a board vote recorded in the transcript.

Staff told trustees the Public Charter School Board (PCSB) will also take a vote on the change of location, but PCSB requested a prior vote from the DC Prep board. Emily said the finance and real estate committee is continuing to study a potential option across the street (the building Washington Latin currently occupies) but that the committee is still “pressure testing whether that is a realistic and feasible option for both the program and the finances related to this campus.”

Ending: Trustees approved the relocation and asked staff to return with the results of further facilities analysis and any finance-related updates; students are expected to occupy the Wilkinson Building at the start of the upcoming school year.","Trustees voted to authorize moving the Anacostia Elementary campus from its B Street location to join Anacostia Middle at the Wilkinson Building for the coming school year; staff said construction is on time and on budget and students are expected to occupy the new space in August/September.","actionData","errors"]
