Notice of Petition to Amend Charter/New Facility - Meridian PCS

The District of Columbia Public Charter School Board (“PCSB”) announces an opportunity for the public to submit comment on a request submitted by Meridian Public Charter School (“Meridian PCS”) on April 1, 2015 to amend its charter to add a new location.

Meridian PCS is currently in its 16th year of operation serving students in grades prekindergarten-3 through eighth.  The school currently operates at a single campus on 13th Street, NW in Ward 1. In order to provide additional space to serve its students and families, the school is seeking approval from PCSB to add a new facility located at 3301 14th Street, NW.  The proposed new facility is also located in Ward 1, and is located within one mile of the school’s current facility. If approved, the school plans to operate and serve students in both facilities beginning in SY 2015-2016.

Pursuant to the School Reform Act, D.C. Code 38-1802 et seq., a charter school must submit a petition to revise its charter, which includes its location.
