Twelve organizations, including the Archdiocese of Washington, are seeking to open new charter schools in the District of Columbia. The proposals follow the release of an audit by the Office of the State Superintendent that shows charter schools continue to be a popular choice with D.C. families. In the past school year, charter schools saw an increase of enrollment to nearly 22,000 students. Enrollment in D.C.'s other public schools has declined for a seventh consecutive year, with enrollment dipping just below 50,000 students.
