DC Council sets 1st facilities allowance at $617 (formula produced $1,048).

The original facilities allowance formula was based on a 5-year rolling average of DCPS facilities costs. However, from the first year of the facilities allowance, the DC Council has consistently underfunded the public charter school facilities, first by ignoring the formula and subsequently by changing it or refusing, until 2017, to include adjustments to allow the facilities fund to keep pace with rising construction and borrowing costs in the District.
