Ashley Ogbonna

Ashley Ogbonna is a licensed attorney originally from Dallas, Texas where her passion for education was birthed as a result of being a student in one of the best performing and worst performing school districts in Dallas County. Her work is forced on securing remedies for marginalized students and parents when rules, laws, and policies are violated. She currently serves on KIPP DC's legal team as the Director of Student Policy, and just prior to joining KIPP DC, she was a Senior Attorney at the U.S. Department of Education investigating schools for misleading students (often Black and Brown) into enrolling into postsecondary education under the guise of guaranteed job opportunities and salaries.
