Ward 8 Chess Club and Tournament Act of 2024

This bill directs the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation to create a chess club and tournament program for students in Ward 8 in partnership with the District of Columbia Public Schools. The program is designed to foster critical thinking and strategic skills by providing at least one site, funding for materials and training, and safety measures for participants. Both agencies will work together to set membership criteria, consult with local youth chess organizers, and promote the program to interested students. The legislation requires approval by the Mayor and publication in the District Register before it becomes effective.
