Anne Herr is responsible for the DC Alliance’s services to public charter schools, including performance management support and the start-up and expansion programs. She spent eight years previously doing similar work for FOCUS. Anne co-founded the Capital City Public Charter School in 2000 and served as its executive director, providing leadership during its expansion from a successful PreK-8th grade school to incorporate a high school. Before getting involved with education and charter schools, she worked for the U.S. Department of State as an intelligence analyst, covering arms control and Russian foreign policy.
