Foxhall and MacArthur Status Update and Next Steps

DCPS submitted the final recommendations from the Community Working Group for the Foxhall and MacArthur schools over the summer.  DCPS and City leadership continue to weigh the recommendations and discuss all options, and no final decision has been made. 

This continued deliberation will primarily impact the proposed SY22-23 MacArthur opening. MacArthur will now open no earlier than SY23-24. This adjustment will ensure that we have time for a robust engagement and planning process for a successful school opening, while providing significant advance notice to impacted families. Foxhall is currently planned to open in SY24-25. We will continue to keep the community informed as there are additional updates on the final decisions and opening timelines for either school.   

The final document and supplemental materials are located here.
