At last week’s Council of DC hearing, HowardUMS2’s Kathryn Procope hit the nail on the head: safe transportation to & from school isn't a convenience; it's a necessity. Fully funding DC School Connect means more students in classrooms & greater peace of mind for parents.


"Taking away DC School Connect would force students in Wards 7 & 8 to fall further behind both emotionally & academically." Read more about the importance of DC School Connect in our new guest blog from CenterCityPCS Congress Heights Principal Niya White: dccharters.org/blog/why-dc-sc…




DC students deserve a safe, reliable way to get to school. In testimony before the Council of DC, Justin Lessek of Sojourner Truth Public Charter School made it clear that DC School Connect is a vital resource for families in Wards 7 & 8, and it's critical that the program is fully funded in FY26.
