Nick Westbrooks from Howard University put together this informative piece on Empower DC’s recent outreach efforts to update the community about the threat of school closures in our city.
In opposition to the public school closures proposed by Mayor Vincent Gray and DCPS, Empower DC held an education outreach day on October 20 to inform residents in Ward 7 about the closings and why they believe they’re not the solution for improving schools. As a follow up to the outreach day, Empower DC’s Education Campaign has scheduled an action planning meeting to device strategies for fighting school closures.
