(Washington, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced an additional $14 million in recovery funding for DC Public Schools’(DCPS) school budgets for Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22), the fiscal year that covers the upcoming 2021-2022 School Year. These additional recovery funds, supported through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act’s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, will ensure that no DCPS school will experience a reduction in their FY22 budget, and that all schools will have a FY22 budget that at least matches FY21 funding levels.
