Opinion: Restricting school choice in D.C. won’t help anyone

As a resident of Ward 8, I believe every family should have the right to decide where to send their children to school, and nearly half of D.C. families choose to send their children to public charter schools. Public charter schools in D.C. are public, tuition-free and open to all D.C. residents. Student enrollment in public charter schools mirrors enrollment in traditional public schools, and half are run by people of color.
Instead of focusing on the School Reform Act of 1995, a nearly 30-year-old law, D.C. elected officials must be laser-focused on eliminating the persistent barriers that our students with disabilities, English learners and students designated as “at-risk” face — in both sectors — when accessing our public education system.
