Abstract: The author, a representative on the Washington, D.C. City Council and advocate for charters and choice, explores what D.C. has learned from the charter school experience and what it means to American public education as a whole. D.C.'s charter schools are used as a case study to demonstrate how their flexibility and autonomy allows them to better serve the social, economic, and educational needs of urban students and families.
