Council is back in session, and we will see a flurry of activity as we approach the end of the two-year Council Period in December. Any bills that don’t make it all the way through the process by the end of the year will go away for good, unless a Councilmember introduces a similar one next Council Period. Legislative meeting agendas will be full as Councilmembers attempt to push legislation over the finish line.

The days of summer are drawing to a close and back-to-school season is here. As our DC Public Schools students and educators get ready to return to the classroom on Monday – and many DC Public Charter Schools students are already enjoying their first weeks of learning – I want to share resources to help you and your family prepare for success and tell you about some of the things I and other Councilmembers have been doing to ensure our schools are ready to serve as the stable, secure, and productive environment our kids need to grow and shine.
