On DCPS leaving schools to fund their own programs

In a hearing this week DCPS made clear that it’s leaving schools on their own to fund things like educator wellness grants, permanent substitutes, immigrant visa/green card program (for bilingual education) & other programs critical to teacher retention. The inequity is obvious: schools with well-resourced parents will find a way; other schools won’t.

We passed a budget that restored the holes in the social safety net, but with one-time funds. That means next year we'll have an even bigger hole to fill. That's why I'm proposing a Wealth Proceeds Tax to generate revenue and make sure that the budget isn't balanced on the backs of those who can least afford it.
I want to use that recognition to highlight and thank Jubilee Housing for its incredible work in the community, and to showcase how we can make a difference in the success of affordable housing production when we all work together.
