Thank you, Dr. Lewis Ferebee — DCPS's longest-serving chancellor — for steering DC's public schools through the pandemic and into the strongest urban recovery in the country. DC Ed Fund is proud of what we've built together, and focused on what's ahead for every DCPS student.
During his tenure, the district has seen historic academic gains, but ‘there are still so many gaps,’ one advocate said buff.ly/4EL6kAM
