LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: An acclaimed preschool won’t open its doors this year. D.C. officials seem indifferent. By Editor On Aug 26, 2019 Last updated Aug 26, 2019 34 Share MONDAY MARKS the start of a new academic year for the District’s public schools. Sadly, one school that won’t be opening its doors to students is the AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter. Thanks largely to the indifference of D.C. government, the school is without a facility for its highly acclaimed preschool program. That means 108 children, mainly African American and from economically disadvantaged families, won’t be able to benefit from a program that focuses on closing the achievement gap before kindergarten. 34 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
