Figure 3 from "The Road to Autonomy," Snapshot of DC3 Schools
DC Collaborative for Change (DC3) was formed in 2008 by the principals of 10 elementary schools that, despite different performance levels and student populations, came together with a like-minded approach to instruction and agreed to share materials and intellectual resources across the schools. DC3 schools were also granted more control over areas such as budgeting and professional development. Flexibility over staf ng and scheduling is written into the latest D.C. teachers union contract. In the 2010–11 school year, nine schools still participate in DC3.
