Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of options public charter school (the school) is to provide a high-quality, unique educational experience for all students, including those students most at risk of dropping out of school because they are underachieving, truant, have experienced behavior problems, or have exceptionalities requiring intensive therapeutic special education services. We provide alternative programs of experimental instruction and guidance to motivate students to stay in school by installing in them the requisite 1) social skills; 2) increased self-esteem; 3) self-control of anger and frustration; 4) the desire to learn and 5) increased academic competence.

To provide a high-quality educational experience for students at risk of academic failure.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990

“On october 1, 2013, the district of columbia filed a complaint against now former employees of the school who owned and operated exceptional education services (ees) and exceptional education management corporation (eemc). The district also filed a lawsuit against a member of the board of trustees. The complaint alleges misuse of the school's funds through self-dealing and extravagant contracts with the related party entities. The contract between the school and ees and eemc have been terminated. In november, 2014, the school was dismissed as a defendant from the dc lawsuit. The school was placed in receivership on october 3, 2013. On december 16, 2013, the district of columbia public charter school board ("pcsb") voted to begin the process to revoke the school's charter. In the memorandum of understanding ("mou") between the court appointed receiver and custodian of the school and the pcsb dated june 25, 2014, the parties agreed that the school will dissolve pursuant to d.c. Official code 38-1802.13a.”
