PACE Clarification Amendment Act of 2025

The PACE Clarification Amendment Act of 2025 (B 26-0489) requires the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to assess and rank *all* school facilities - including those previously modernized - using the prioritization criteria from the 2016 PACE Act. This ensures schools needing updates (like those renovated in the early 2000s) are not excluded from modernization planning. The bill also mandates that DCPS and historic preservation agencies create a shared inventory of schools with historic designations or eligibility, along with relevant preservation laws, to streamline future renovations. These changes aim to make facility modernization decisions more equitable and transparent for all DCPS schools.
