[YEP-DC] Temporary Work: Help charter students enroll in school

PCSB is hiring temporary enrollment specialists to ensure students from closing charters schools find placements for the 2013-14 school year.  

The DC Public Charter School Board (PCSB) is setting a national model for creating quality public school options that is leading the transformation of public education in Washington, DC. As the city's independent charter authorizer, PCSB approves new charter applications, closes poor-performing schools and conducts effective oversight of charter school performance through its Performance Management Framework and other tools. More than 35,000 students attend DC charter schools, roughly 43% of the DC public school population.  PCSB currently oversees 57 public charter schools on 102 campuses across the city. For more information about PCSB, visit www.dcpcsb.org.

The Enrollment Specialist is responsible for providing enrollment guidance to parents whose children were enrolled in a school closed by the PCSB, that relinquished its charter, or that amended its charter to reduce the grades served within the most recent school year. This position requires a positive professional who can collaborate with all necessary stakeholders to ensure the placement of all assigned students.
