Principal Sah Brown: Update on Eastern High School

Principal Brown gave an update onEastern High to the ANC. In addition to returning to full-time in person learning this school year, the roughly 630 students at Eastern High School will be able to participate in typical extracurricular activities, clubs and tutoring. Principal Brown said the overarching focus this year for students at Eastern High School is spread across four broad areas identified as addressing students emotional needs by performing trauma assessments as needed and increasing students’ access to counselors; literacy via a stronger focus on complex text analysis and understanding; increased engagement with staff and other students to personally reconnect after so much digital interaction, and acceleration, a particular focus for ninth and tenth graders, to bolster their math and reading skills by extending lesson times for these subjects and ensuring all grades are getting grade-level content. This will be assisted via expanded tutoring available both during and after school hours.

TOA for the establishment of a reserved parking space at 437 15th Street NE. The vote was 7 in favor with Commissioner
