The District of Columbia Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB) is the regulatory authority and sole authorizer of all public charter schools in Washington, D.C. It provides oversight to 69 independently-run nonprofits (also referred to as local education agencies or LEAs) and 135 public charter schools which educate more than 45,000 students living in every ward of the city (48% of all DC public school students). The board is tasked with approving, monitoring, and evaluating schools, creating policies and conditions to empower educators to do their best work, and actively engaging families, schools, and communities to inform decision-making.
