Piloting a phone-free program in our middle schools since School Year (SY) 2022-23 has demonstrated to us the clear benefits of storing students' personal devices during the school day.
For SY 2025-26, DCPS will implement a district-wide phone policy: https://t.co/9YenTKETbn 📴

Here are some pictures of our academy seniors presenting their Declaration Day projects. It’s a bittersweet moment, as many have been with us since 10th grade. We’re proud of their progress and excited to hear about their future plans.
Tuesday, February 25 was a historic day for Dunbar! Students and staff came to Dunbar styled for success, honoring the legacy of Dunbar's past and of Black excellence in honor of Black History Month! We looked good. We felt even better. Thank you to all who participated.
Our new Bike Bus program is rolling strong!
We launched this to get students on time & ready to learn with active minds! Today, 63 students showed up on time—the power of bikes!
Big thanks to @chickfila for breakfast!
Come ride with us next month!

I was proud to co-introduce this bill prohibiting cell phones and wireless devices during the school day because it will help us deepen learning for students and mitigate behavioral issues across schools. Several Ward 5 schools already prohibit cell phones during the school day, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive.
I look forward to engaging stakeholders as we look to scale these policies across the city.
Big shoutout to the sharp minds @DunbarHSDC Law & Justice Advocacy class! We tackled big topics like gun violence, youth unemployment, gentrification, sex trafficking & more—but what blew me away were your brilliant ideas for change. The future’s in good hands w/leaders like you.
🧵Big win for DC youth this wk! My #Mentorship bill passed the Council! This bill creates DC’s 1st-ever community service leave, allowing DC govt employees 1 hr/wk to volunteer mentor or tutor youth & it will connect young ppl who have experienced trauma w/a professional #Mentor.
Our first Dunbar #BikeBus was immaculate. The students & staff energy, the weather, the scenery & the music. Thank you @BikeBusWorld for partnering with me & @bikebusworld.
This is the start of something very special.
Yes, @chickfila joined us
