Board and Parent Leadership

My School DC is governed by the Common Lottery Board, established by the FY15 Budget Support Act with representation from both DCPS and participating public charter schools. A Parent Advisory Council and committees of participating local education agencies (LEAs) provide input to My School DC and the Common Lottery Board to inform the design of the process and parent outreach efforts.
