| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL IS TO EXPAND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND CHOICES BY IMPLEMENTING A DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM THAT WILL ENABLE STUDENTS TO MEET HIGH ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS, AND A JOY OF LEARNING FOR CHILDREN FROM PRE- KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE FIVE. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | FOUNDED IN 2004, DC BILINGUAL OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE DUAL IMMERSION SPANISH AND ENGLISH LEARNING PROGRAM FOR ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR HOME LANGUAGE. THROUGH THE CHARTER SCHOOL'S RIGOROUS ACADEMIC CURRICULUM, COMPREHENSIVE ARTS, TECHNOLOGY, AND ATHLETICS PROGRAMS AND CELEBRATION OF DIVERSE CULTURES, DC BILINGUAL'S STUDENTS LEARN THE SKILLS AND VALUES NEEDED TO BECOME INFLUENTIAL PARTICIPANTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. DCB'S PHILOSOPHY AND TEACHING MODEL REFLECT THE SCHOOL'S BELIEF THAT STUDENTS DEVELOP TO THEIR FULL ACADEMIC POTENTIAL WHEN THEY HAVE ACCESS TO AMBITIOUS INSTRUCTION AND A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES, DIFFERENTIATED FOR EACH STUDENT'S INDIVIDUALIZED NEEDS. OUR CO-TEACHING MODEL ALLOWS INSTRUCTORS TO BALANCE DIRECT WITH SMALL GROUP AND 1:1 INSTRUCTION. OUR TEACHERS DELIVER A UNIQUE, DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION MODEL - A FORM OF LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION THAT BRINGS TOGETHER STUDENTS FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS TO EXPERIENCE LEARNING IN BOTH LANGUAGES, SPANISH AND ENGLISH. THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DAY, STUDENTS GAIN SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF ACADEMIC CONCEPTS THROUGH COMMUNICATING IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. DCB COMPLEMENTS THE SCHOOL'S CORE CURRICULUM WITH A VIBRANT PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM, A HEALTHY LIFESTYLES PROGRAM, ACCESS TO TRANSFORMATION OPPORTUNITIES, AND DEEP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. AS A RESULT OF OUR PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES, DC BILINGUAL STUDENTS HAVE MADE GREAT ACADEMIC STRIDES. IN 2017, THE THIRD YEAR OF THE RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE-ALIGNED PARCC EXAM, 73% OF OUR STUDENTS SCORED AT A LEVEL 3 AND ABOVE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS TEST, COMPARED WITH 53% CITY-WIDE. FURTHER, 96% OF OUR 5TH GRADERS (OR 100% OF OUR 5TH GRADERS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH DCB FOR OVER TWO YEARS) SCORED AT A LEVEL 3 AND ABOVE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS TEST AND, 85% SCORED AT A LEVEL 4 AND ABOVE, SURPASSING THE CITY-WIDE AVERAGE BY 36 PERCENTAGE POINTS. SINCE 2015, THE DC PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD HAS RANKED DCB AS A TIER 1 SCHOOL, AND THIS PAST YEAR AMONG THE TOP 10 HIGHEST-PERFORMING ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE CITY. |

| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 19 | GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC BY REQUEST. |
| FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9 | THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019, HAVE BEEN RESTATED TO CHANGE THE METHODOLOGY RELATED TO THE RECORDING OF REVENUES UNDER THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. IN PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THE CHARTER SCHOOL DID NOT RECORD ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR THE MEDICAID PROGRAM COST REIMBURSEMENTS. REIMBURSEMENT COST REPORTS WERE SUBMITTED, HOWEVER PAYMENT WAS NOT MADE TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL FOR A CUMULATIVE PERIOD OF THREE YEARS. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS REQUIRE REVENUES TO BE RECOGNIZED WHEN THE AMOUNTS CAN BE REASONABLY ESTIMATED AND WHEN PAYMENT IS LIKELY. ALTHOUGH PAYMENTS WERE NOT RECEIVED IN A CONTINUOS MANNER, THESE PAYMENTS MET THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE IN EACH OF THE RESPECTIVE FISCAL YEARS. ACCORDINGLY, AN ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE TO INCREASE NET ASSETS WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AS OF JULY 1, 2019, BY AN AMOUNT OF 274,796 WHICH INCLUDED REVENUES IN THE AMOUNT OF 28,426 FOR THE PRIOR YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019. |
