We review financial information to see how well schools balance their checkbooks. High-performing schools ensure they have sufficient finances for the year plus any contingencies. In cases of low-rated schools, the Board works closely with a school's leadership for an improvement plan that ensures solvency.
Each year, DC PCSB assesses the finances and operations of DC public charter schools. These reviews evaluate how well schools manage their finances. High-performing schools ensure they have sufficient funds for the year and contingencies. For low-rated schools, the School Finance Team collaborates with leadership to discuss ways that ensure solvency. Additionally, detailed financial information, including budgets, fiscal audits, and 990s, is published for each school.
