What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Full participation in the economic growth and vitality of this region. Washington, D.C., is on the cusp of economic revitalization and growth. It is imperative that we, as a community, equip and prepare our residents to take advantage of the opportunities that will be presented to us over the next few years. Paramount to this endeavor is the challenge of creating schools that serve as learning communities and produce leaders who are able to compete in the global economy."
