Summary
The council adopted three ceremonial consent resolutions by unanimous consent, advanced Bill 20-66659 (Local Budget Act) and Bill 20-66661 (Budget Support Act) on first reading (both unanimous), and a disapproval resolution for the Curriculum Associates (i-Ready) contract was introduced and then withdrawn after members pressed for oversight and DCPS committed to new guidance.
At the June legislative meeting the council took several formal actions:
- Consent agenda: Chair Mendelson said the consent agenda included three ceremonial resolutions and adopted them by unanimous consent.
- Bill 20-66659 (Local Budget Act of 2026): Approved on first reading by unanimous voice vote after members raised concerns about a delivery fee for grocery and food orders.
- Bill 20-66661 (Budget Support Act of 2026): Approved on first reading by unanimous voice vote with no extended debate.
- Contract disapproval resolution (GHGA2026C0049 with Curriculum Associates): Moved by Councilmember Henderson and then withdrawn after discussion; the chancellor provided a June 6 letter committing DCPS to guidance, monitoring, alternatives for teachers, and a fall hearing on technology in schools.
Chair Mendelson closed the meeting, thanked staff by name, announced an additional meeting on June 23 and a regular meeting on June 30, and adjourned at 5:53 p.m.
