Cesar Chavez Public Charter Schools for Public Policy Revenue Bonds Project Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $25 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds for Cesar Chavez Public Charter Schools for Public Policy. The funds will refinance the school’s existing debt and finance specific facility upgrades at its 3701 Hayes Street NE campus, including modernizing classrooms, science labs, the gymnasium, and ancillary spaces. The resolution clarifies these bonds are not general District obligations, will not use public tax credit, and must be approved urgently to avoid delays before a financing term sheet expires on December 31, 2025.
