THE CHARTER SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED BY THE ELEMENTARY LANGUAGE IMMERSION SCHOOLS IN DC TO PROVIDE A PATHWAY FOR THEIR PRE-K - 5TH GRADE STUDENTS. DCI INSPIRES INQUIRING, ENGAGED, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CARING SECONDARY STUDENTS WHO ARE MULTILINGUAL, CULTURALLY COMPETENT, AND COMMITTED TO PROACTIVELY CREATING A SOCIALLY JUST AND SUSTAINABLE WORLD. CORNERSTONES OF THE DCI EDUCATION INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE FOR ALL, ADVANCED LANGUAGE LEARNING IN CHINESE, SPANISH, AND FRENCH AND A FOCUS ON STUDENT AGENCY POWERED BY OUR 1:1 CHROMEBOOKS.THIS YEAR DCI GRADUATED ITS SECOND CLASS OF STUDENTS, THE CLASS OF 2021! ALL OF DCI IS INCREDIBLY PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS AND THAT WE HAVE NOW SENT OUR FIRST CLASS ON TO THEIR FUTURE! AND THEY HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESSES, DESPITE THE PANDEMIC:- 97% RECEIVED COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES- ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE IB CAREER OR DIPLOMA PROGRAM. EACH STUDENT ON AVERAGE TOOK 5.38 IB (HONORS) CLASSES.- 77% OF OUR STUDENTS RECEIVED A BILITERACY SEAL FOR THEIR DIPLOMA IN EITHER CHINESE, FRENCH OR SPANISH.WE WERE ALSO VERY PROUD OF HOW OUR SCHOOL NAVIGATED THE PANDEMIC THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IN EARLY MARCH, AS WE WATCHED CHINA AND EUROPE SHUT DOWN, WE CREATED A PLAN FOR DISTANCE AND HYBRID LEARNING. THE TRANSITION HAPPENED QUICKLY: ON MARCH 10TH WE TRAINED STAFF, ON MARCH 13TH WE TRAINED STUDENTS, AND BY MARCH 17TH WE OPENED UP IN FULL DISTANCE LEARNING. DCI HAS ALWAYS PROVIDED ALL STUDENTS WITH A CHROMEBOOK AND UTILIZES DIGITAL TOOLS IN CLASSES DAILY, SO OUR STUDENTS HAD THE TECHNOLOGY AND KNOWLEDGE TO BEGIN DISTANCE LEARNING WITH THEIR TEACHERS ALMOST SEAMLESSLY. PARENTS, STUDENTS AND STAFF ALL SHARED HOW THEY FELT SUPPORTED AND WERE LEARNING IN THIS CHALLENGING TIME.IN 2020-21, DUE TO THE WORSENING RATES OF TRANSMISSION, DCI, ALONG WITH ALL DC PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS, KEPT STUDENTS IN A DISTANCE LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR MUCH OF THE YEAR. WE DID HAVE SUPPORT STAFF IN BEGINNING OCTOBER 2020, AND WE INVITED STUDENTS WHO WERE AT RISK INTO THE BUILDING SO THEY COULD ACCESS THEIR LEARNING FROM SCHOOL. WHEN GUIDING POLICIES FROM DC HEALTH EASED IN APRIL 2021, WE QUICKLY MADE A PLAN TO ALLOW ALL STUDENTS WHO WANTED IN PERSON LEARNING TO COME TO THE DCI CAMPUS BEGINNING IN MAY. ALL OF OUR TEACHERS HELD CLASSES IN A HYBRID POSTURE, WHILE ROUGHLY 30% OF OUR STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE BUILDING FOR THE REMAINDER OF SY20-21. 25142824 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 32 0 1 264 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X MARY SHAFFNER 2028089033 1400 MAIN DRIVE NW WASHINGTON DC 20012 MARY SHAFFNER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 167373 0 19909 DENISE LYONS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 129082 0 15355 MAYA STEWART MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 127713 0 15192 DEIDRA BAILEY HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 121366 0 14437 JESSE NICKELSON DIPLOMA PROGRAMME COORDINATOR 40.00 X 113734 0 19029 MELODY MAITLAND CHIEF OF STAFF 40.00 X 105288 0 18028 KRISHNA RAMPERSAUD HIGH SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 105472 0 12546 ANDREA LACHENMAYR BOARD CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID CARL VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SARAH SNYDER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LEROY CLAY III TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 YUANXIA DING TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMILA FRONE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA GRILLO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA KIM TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELANI LAWRENCE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA PARDO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUIS POZO-LIN TRUSTEE - UNTIL 08/2020 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLINTON RANDOLPH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHALINI SHYBUT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEANNA TROUST TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA ZAWISLANSKI TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 870028 0 114496 8 0 1 0 ASL PAINTING INC 13423 PARKLAND DRIVE ROCKVILLE MD 20853 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS 286308 DC PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD 3333 14TH STREET NW SUITE 210 WASHINGTON DC 20010 AUTHORIZER FEES 283669 W L GARY COMPANY INC 1140 3RD ST NE SUITE 406 WASHINGTON DC 20002 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS 199510 OFFICEWORKS INC 101 W BROAD STREET 2ND FLOOR FALLS CHURCH VA 22046 OFFICE SPACE CONSULTING 165928 CDW GOVERNMENT 75 REMITTANCE DRIVE SUITE 1515 CHICAGO IL 60675 IT SERVICES 147955 6 2276899 316463 2593362 PER-PUPIL FUNDING ALLOCATION 900099 24938922 24938922 PER-PUPIL FACILITIES ALLOWANCE 900099 4914336 4914336 STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES 900099 36862 36862 29890120 229184 229184 OTHER 900099 61232 61232 SUBLEASE INCOME 531390 100 100 61332 32773998 29890120 0 290516 33429 33429 323039 96912 193824 32303 15060775 13941829 1051776 67170 243768 228038 15006 724 1547749 1430377 110105 7267 1270597 1161245 101402 7950 77359 70701 6174 484 148845 136035 11879 931 22555 22555 659373 620447 36095 2831 242006 221177 19314 1515 183369 167588 14634 1147 4095018 3742586 326810 25622 1296 1296 2321769 2116725 190137 14907 105389 96319 8411 659 STAFF DEV. & OTHERS 380922 348139 30400 2383 STUDENT MATERIALS 360603 360603 OTHER STUDENT COST 209556 209556 OTHER 74114 63617 9734 763 101780 96205 5170 405 27463311 25142824 2153426 167061 17025178 14704178 6531235 5113270 486548 877804 39076 7646 206607 74975 58119843 9072423 50557402 49047420 0 10004021 122110 122101 74968156 79951415 2137002 2907751 58180515 57419456 130166 0 60447683 60327207 X 12942543 18090768 1577930 1533440 14520473 19624208 74968156 79951415 5310687 -146262 -60690 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 55963048 7824924 48138124 2152620 1243324 909296 4175 4175 0 49047420 X 32653041 -146262 47860 -98402 32751443 22555 22555 32773998 27549306 108550 108550 27440756 22555 22555 27463311 PART X, LINE 2: FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020, MANAGEMENT DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES REQUIRING RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 SCHEDULE E, PART I, LINE 3 DCI IS A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL AND IS OPERATING UNDER A CONTRACT WITH THE PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD.
