Mary Filardo- National Expert on School Infrastructure

I

We believe:

• Our families should not have to win a lottery or travel long distances to secure an excellent education for their children.

• All of our neighborhoods should enjoy the power of strong neighborhood schools to build communities committed to learning and our children.

• All of our children should be provided with the kind of education that can open doors to 21st century opportunities.

• Our city's resources should be used wisely to support our public education system.

• The Six Principles for Public Education in Washington, DC represent a blueprint for building a public education system in our city.

In Memoriam Mary Levy

Mary’s lifelong dedication to improving public education for all students in the District has left a legacy that will never be forgotten. Through her work with all of us, she was instrumental in vastly improving school conditions, securing more equitable funding, and providing better resources and opportunities for students—all during a time when obtaining adequate support for schools in DC was a constant challenge.
