 From the D.C. Register

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

NOTICE OF ACTION

 School Name Change

 The Chancellor of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) announces an action to change the name of a District of Columbia public school, pursuant to Title 5, Section E3510 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations.

 The school previously named “Youth Engagement Academy“ will now be called “Washington Metropolitan High School.“ This action is to bring the school name into alignment with other schools across the country that are implementing the same programmatic model. The school was previously co-located at the Eliot Hine Middle School building at 1830 Constitution Ave. NE.

 As of the 2010-2011 school year, the school will be located at the K.C. Lewis school facility at 300 Bryant St. NW. That building does not currently house any other DCPS programs.

 The school community will be informed of this name change through written notices sent to student homes.

 Citizens with questions or concerns about this change can contact DC Public Schools at 202-478-5738 or criticalresponseteam @ dc.gov.
