On June 21, 2013, Councilmember Muriel Bowser, Chairperson of the Committee on Economic Development will hold a public roundtable to consider Proposed Resolution 20-314, “Webb School Lease Approval Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013” and “Proposed Resolution 20-315, Webb School Lease Emergency Approval Resolution of 2013.” Together, the measures would authorize, on an emergency basis, the District to enter into a new ground lease with KIPP DC for real estate commonly known as the Webb School.
On June 22, 2012, DGS issued a solicitation to identify a charter school for the Property. KIPP DC was the only offeror and because it has a history of successful construction projects and academic success, the property was awarded to KIPP DC. KIPP DC will redevelop the Property for use as a multi-school campus serving Pre-K to eighth grade. If the emergency disposition is approved, KIPP DC will start three new schools at the Property.
The public roundtable will begin at 12:30 pm in Room 500 of the John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
