$15.7M for public charters—that's what the Council's first budget vote delivered, helping #CloseTheGap by ~30%. Thank you @ChmnMendelson, @CMZacharyParker, @cmdonicrawford, @CMWendellFelder, @CMBrookePinto, @CMLewisGeorgeW4 for fighting for ALL students. 👉bit.ly/3QiAd9x

Thank you to @councilofdc for recognizing the need to address funding disparities impacting nearly half of DC's public school students. This investment is an important step forward, and we look forward to continuing the work to ensure all students are funded fairly. #DCStudentsSucceed

More than 3,000 parents and community members have already spoken up in support of equitable funding for ALL #DC students. As the @councilofdc finalizes the budget, we encourage leaders to keep students at the center of every decision and ensure all public school students have equitable access to opportunity. #DCStudentsSucceed

As the @councilofdc considers @ChmnMendelson proposed changes to the Fiscal Year 2027 Local Budget Act, including new funding for public charter schools, significant inequity remains. As Ariel Johnson of @DC_Charters has emphasized, ensuring equitable funding across public school sectors allows schools to stay focused on serving students and meeting their needs. Every #DC student deserves an equitable opportunity to thrive. #DCStudentsSucceed

Budget decisions shape what #DC schools are able to offer students every day. With an estimated funding gap of nearly $2,000 per student across sectors, continued focus on funding equity remains essential. Every DC student deserves the opportunity to succeed.

#DC’s public charter schools continue to receive less per-student funding than public schools - highlighting the need for equitable investment across all public education. Sustained support helps ensure every student has access to the opportunities and resources they need to thrive. Every DC student deserves an equitable opportunity. #DCStudentsSucceed #FY27
