Todd Gluckman Testifies Before the D.C. Council Committee of the Whole about Special Education Issues in DL v. District of Columbia

On May 7, 2026, TPM Partner Todd Gluckman testified before the D.C. Council Committee of the Whole at a public budget hearing related to the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education. He explained that the District has not yet complied with the 2016 DL v. DC injunction related to timely special education for preschoolers. The District’s problems are particularly concerning because time is of the essence to provide these young children with special education that could, when started early, improve their educational outcomes with positive impacts throughout their lives.
