Bill > B26-0072

This bill amends the Schools First in Budgeting Amendment Act of 2022 to protect school budgets during modernization projects. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that prevents a school's budget from being reduced when the school is using or will be using a "swing space" - a temporary alternative location for students and staff while their original school building is undergoing renovations or capital improvements. By prohibiting budget decreases during these periods, the bill aims to ensure that schools do not face financial penalties when they are already dealing with the disruption and challenges of a construction or modernization project. The amendment will take effect after approval by the Mayor, congressional review, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
