I moved from CA to DC a couple weeks ago and paid the $69 to attend traffic school...but will the point shows up under the new DL since I am getting new DL # and license plate number?

Ah hell...reading failure.:$

If you have points on your license in Kahleeforneeya, they MAY show up on your new license...or may not.

MANY states accept the point erasure from traffic school. From this page:
http://dmv.dc.gov/info/safe/enforcement.shtm

it looks like DC also does this.

Be certain that you paid all related fines and costs, and that the information has cleared the Kahleeforneeya DMV prior to making application with the DC DMV.

If you've got tickets in CA, you need to take care of them. They'll show up on your CA license, but you still need to be responsible.

Since you are from DC, you can probably already shoot and drive, but you may need the refresher on being an indignant prick behind the wheel.

Well, I got the ticket in CA and I can take online traffic school, so it doesn't matter where I live. I just wonder if it will show up under the DC DL if I don't take the traffic school.

I am afraid you still have reading failure. ;)
My question is if I don't attend online traffic school in california, will the point show up in the new DC driver's license record? I knew both DC and Cal erasses point after traffic school...so that isn't the question being asked.

Your OP doesn't state that you haven't yet taken traffic school. I suppose we could ass-u-me that you haven't because you say only that you've paid for the school?

Your points WILL show up in DC because, like most states, they are part of the Interstate Driver's License Compact:
