D.C. Council wants to ensure most vulnerable students get promised help

D.C. Council members are moving to ensure the city’s most vulnerable students get the help they have been promised following disclosures that money for at-risk students was used for routine school system expenses.

Saying education leaders inappropriately spent that money, council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) introduced legislation last week that would compel the traditional public school system to explain how the funding is used on each campus.
