As technology continues to reshape education, one priority must remain clear: putting students first. At the @councilofdc's “Technology in Schools” Hearing, @noahdougherty of @DC_Charters emphasized the importance of balancing innovation with student safety, privacy, and well-being. From listening to educators and families to preparing students for a future shaped by AI, his testimony reinforced the need for thoughtful, responsible approaches to technology that reflect the needs of every school community. The decisions made today will shape how #DC students learn for years to come. #DCStudentsSucceed

Behind every strong school community is leadership that keeps students at the center. This National Principal Awareness Month, we’re celebrating #DC principals for the countless ways they lead, listen, problem-solve, and create opportunities for students and educators every single day. Here’s to the leaders helping #DCStudentsSucceed.👏

#DC isn’t just recovering. It’s showing what recovery can look like. From leading the nation in post-pandemic Math and Reading growth to building on years of academic progress, D.C. students are proving that declining achievement is not inevitable. As CEO of Accelerate, Kevin Huffman, highlights, that progress didn’t happen overnight. And it’s worth building on. Read more from @washingtonpost: washingtonpost.com/opinions/… #DCStudentsSucceed

#DC students are taking center field. 🏈 A $1 million investment from @Gatorade is helping expand Girls’ Flag Football across DC schools giving more students the chance to compete, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and find their voice. For Taniyah Vincent, a junior and quarterback at @IDEA_PCS, that opportunity is already making an impact. An investment in the game is an investment in the girls who will lead beyond it.
