D.C. School Vouchers Program
 Mayor Williams said he might lack tenacity and focus to run again. |

A lottery for D.C. students seeking federal vouchers to attend private schools yielded nearly two applicants yesterday for each available slot, with most students currently enrolled in low-performing schools.
