Every family deserves access to the information they need to understand the quality of their community's schools and to make the best decision about their child's education. School report cards are the primary way that states communicate the information that families want and need about schools, but too often, the report cards are more focused on compliance with federal law or meeting the needs of more technically proficient audiences, such as researchers. To reverse this pattern and ensure that states' new report cards are accessible and relevant to families, state leaders have called for new accountability systems, and clear, accessible report cards that will communicate new types of school data available, and the ways in which schools are being held accountable for their performance. Leaders in Washington, DC, capitalized on this opportunity to completely rethink their approach to stakeholder engagement. With an organization wide commitment to reaching families across the city, leaders in DC's Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) implemented a multiphase process that provided different opportunities for families to engage (both in person and electronically), minimized barriers to participation, and engaged community partners across the city to hear as many voices as possible. This case study tells the story of DC's strategy and provides key lessons for states to consider when approaching their own stakeholder engagement. Data Quality Campaign (DQC) staff attended multiple events and community engagement sessions and conducted interviews with key participants to better understand this robust stakeholder engagement initative. The key lessons identified in this case study are directly informed by that research and reflect the process as observed by DQC staff and described by participants.
