All kids reading, writing, adding, substracting, dividing and multipling by 4th grade. More accountability of charter schools use of $300 million dollars of DC tax money and when and where charters open new schools as not to affect DC public schools feeder patterns."

Stopping developers from using loop holes to build pop ups in residential neighborhoods.
