[from Charles Jackson, founder of the charter school planned for the 200 blk of Upshur St]
We received the great news that we have “unconditional approval” from the DCPCSB – so we’re on track to open in August 2005.
We will break ground in April on our brand new building. The completion date is set for October 2005. The address is 209 Upshur Street, NW, Washington, DC 20011. We will have the opportunity to expand the building into neighboring lots as the school grows. From August to October we will be in a temporary location nearby our permanent home.
We are recruiting teachers for all subject areas. We are also currently seeking a part-time administrative assistant – if you know of anyone who is looking for approximately 20 hours per week, is very well organized, and is bilingual in Spanish and English tell them to contact us ASAP!
SPREAD THE WORD!!! ABC is now accepting applications for 6th graders to begin in Fall 2005. Call us 202-822-6301 or email [email protected] to get an application and more information.
Watch for announcements regarding some upcoming community meetings to introduce the school to the community and to parents and guardians of children. We will conduct a lottery, if necessary, to fill our 150 seats in early April.
Finally, we anticipate that our website will go live in a couple of weeks.
