DC Public Education Master Facilities Plan 2023
The Deputy Mayor for Education (DME) presents the DC Public Education Master Facilities Plan 2023 (MFP), a strategic vision for the enhancement and optimization of educational infrastructure in the District addressing current challenges and promoting long-term sustainability. The District has proven its commitment to students and families by investing billions in public schools to modernize and improve the learning environment for students, staff, and the community. The recommendations are intended to guide decision-making and future investments to ensure a holistic approach to facility planning and management for the next 5 to 10 years.
The MFP and its recommendations were developed through a comprehensive analysis of the conditions, utilization, enrollment trends, capital investment history, and maintenance trends of the District's public schools. Additionally, the DME collected community feedback via three rounds of town halls in 2023 and publicly available surveys. School communities and other stakeholders were also consulted to support analysis and the development of the recommendations.
DME contracted with a consultant team led by Perkins Eastman DC that included WXY Studio, LINK Strategic Partners, and the D.C. Policy Center to develop this report.
