Yesterday the DC City Council moved to finalize the FY17 budget, with the final vote scheduled for May 31. The proposed budgets contains no additional funding for charter school facility costs, such as lease and mortgage payments.  

We understand the challenges the Mayor and the City Council are facing this year with the City’s budget, but the decision to not increase the facilities funding creates great difficulties for DC public charter schools. As charter facilities costs continue to rise, the funds will need to come from other sources of the public charter school’s budget.

Please also see the statements and articles for more information on this subject.
