The DCPS does require some sort of education background to become a full-time permanent teacher.
However, the school mentioned is a Public Charter School. Here in DC, those are given more flexibility in the hiring of teachers.
ETA: After reading the whole thread, I want to reiterate that this is a Public Charter School, responsible for its own hiring and firing (one of the perks of a PCS in this city). She's not really joining a "system" per se.....just one particular school with a particular mission.
