CHPSPO Meets February 21 at Capitol Hill Montessori@Logan – Accountability Framework

Dear Capitol Hill Public Schools Parent Organization Members,

Wanted to remind everyone that Hansuel Kang, the Director of the Office of the State Superintendent of Education’s (OSSE) will attend the February 21 CHPSPO meeting (6:30 pm at Capitol Hill Montessori@Logan, 215 G Street, NE) to discuss the accountability framework OSSE is proposing to use for measuring academic progress and school quality under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Several CHPSPO members testified at the February 14 Education Committee hearing on concerns with the proposed accountability framework. It is important that principals, teachers, and parents attend the February 21 CHPSPO meeting to share your perspectives on the accountability framework as this will guide how our schools are evaluated for the next ten years. Please share this information with your school communities.

OSSE will also hold a Ward 6 meeting on February 27 from 6 – 8 pm at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (545 7th Street, SE) to discuss the proposed accountability framework.
