What is meant by a “Marshall Plan” approach to DC school construction?
Within this context, PROP 100% proposes shortening a 23 year construction plan to a seven year plan and saving more than $1.05 billion for the same total number of schools to be built or modernized. Just as the public infrastructure was rebuilt in Europe following WWII under the “Marshall Plan” in recognition of the need to jump-start the core of an economic engine, the rebuilding our public schools is the keystone to the financial success of Washington. Modern, safe, high quality schools keep existing citizens in the city and attract new employers, taxpayers, and residents.
