| Mayor Vincent C. Gray's 2013 State of the District Address
PROPOSALS
Accountability
-- Clarify roles, responsibilities and expectations of both traditional and public charter schools and develop a citywide vision and roadmap for public education to:
- Empower families to understand and access all aspects of our education system;
- Promote equity across our education sectors so that all children, regardless of which school they attend, have the resources they need to succeed;
- Plan across our education sectors in a way that ensures access to quality educational seats in every neighborhood; and
- Develop a transparent way to hold District government leaders and their education partners accountable for these outcomes.
Economic/Workforce Development
-- Bring DC Workforce Intermediary online this spring. The intermediary will make direct connections between employers in our construction, retail and hospitality industries who have jobs to offer and qualified District residents who need them.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Economic/Workforce Development
-- Revitalized the Workforce Investment Council with a broad array of experts from the public, private and non-profit sectors.
Facilities
-- Invested heavily in the modernization of our schools and built a number of brand new schools.
P-3 Access
-- Continued to make investments in early-childhood education, including opening a major Educare facility in Ward 7 last year. The District is now the first city in America where there are enough seats in publicly-supported early-childhood-education programs for all three- and four-year-olds.
Special Education
-- Built the capacity of public schools to serve the educational needs of children with disabilities which reduced the number of these students placed in private schools by 40 percent.
