What will be the criteria for selection of the entity or entities?
The Department, in consultation with the DC Government, will select the entity or entities on the basis of such criteria as: (1) the quality of the proposals they submit for recruiting and selecting students to participate; (2) the quality of their proposals for conducting outreach and providing information to parents of eligible students; (3) the quality of their proposals for identifying and selecting DC private schools to participate in the program; (4) their demonstrated capability to administer funds, track the status and progress of scholarship recipients, and handle other administrative functions under the program; and (5) their ability to provide students and families with the widest range of educational options.
