LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: D.C. schools improved under mayoral control. Why do some council members want to undermine that success? By Editor On Oct 31, 2021 Last updated Oct 31, 2021 34 Share Since 2007, when the D.C. Council voted to give the mayor control over the public school system, there have been periodic attempts to claw back the historic reform. Past efforts have failed, but those who want to undermine mayoral control have been nothing if not persistent, and there is a new push to undermine mayoral control that unfortunately seems to be gaining some traction. D.C. Council members need to be reminded of the impressive academic progress that District schools have made in the 15 years since mayoral control. That they are even considering a change in school governance that would threaten the progress is troubling. 34 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
