PR 26-0345 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Early Childhood Academy Public Charter School Revenue Bonds Project Approval Resolution of 2025

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $15 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds to refinance costs for the Early Childhood Academy Public Charter School. The funds will specifically cover the school’s facility at 885 Barnaby Street SE in Ward 8, including refinancing prior debt used for acquiring and renovating its 37,700-square-foot building, construction costs, and related expenses. The bonds are structured so the District bears no financial liability - proceeds will be loaned directly to the school, and the District won’t use its taxing power or credit. This resolution is procedural, approving the bond issuance under the Home Rule Act without creating new public obligations.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft proposal to an enrolled, officially adopted resolution. The text was cleaned up to remove the Mayor's cover letter and standard formatting artifacts, while retaining the core authorization for $15 million in revenue bonds to help a public charter school refinance and develop its facility.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains unchanged; it still authorizes the same funding amount and project details as the original draft.
TECHNICAL

Added official enrollment headers, including the resolution number (26-254) and the final passage date (November 18, 2025), indicating the bill has been formally approved by the Council.

Removed the Mayor's introductory cover letter, signature block, and page numbering artifacts that were present in the draft version.

Standardized punctuation and spacing throughout the text, such as adding commas in lists and correcting quotation marks around defined terms.
