COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JOHN A.
ENGROSSED ORIGINAL A BILL 3 25-350 5 IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 7 _____________________ 9 To officially designate the school in Lot 899 in Square 1356 as MacArthur High School.
WILSON BUILDING PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, DC 2 0 0 0 4 MATTHEW FRUMIN COMMITTEE MEMBER Councilmember, Ward 3 Executive Administration and Labor Facilities and Family Services Housingl a Health Equity Transportation and the Environment Nyasha Smith Secretary of the Council Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20004 June 27, 2023 Dear Secretary Smith:
BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this act may be cited as the “MacArthur High School Redesignation Act of 2023”.
Today, I am introducing the "MacArthur High School Designation Act of 2023".
I look forward to the opening of this new high school in Ward 3, beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, and am grateful for the work done by District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), the MacArthur High School staff, and the neighboring community to set our students up for success.
This legislation, a signed copyofwhich is enclosed, comes at the request of DCPS to ensure the new high school is adequately prepared for the coming school year.
Making official the current temporary name "MacArthur High School" will enable the school to begin procurement of necessary materials for students, staff, and the facility.
During the Community Working Group process for the high school, DCPS conducted a public online survey to solicit school name nominations.
More than 540 community members participated, and the name "MacArthur High School" received the most support.' Many respondents emphasized the desire for continuity by maintaining the name that DCPS and the community had been using for more than a year, as well as designating a name based on a location, not a person:
the high school is located on MacArthur Boulevard.
I support both sentiments.
Should you have any questions about this legislation, please contact my Legislative Assistant, Elias Benda, at ebenda@dccouncil.gov or (202) 394-8293.
Sincerely, Y 1 J 1 w Matthew Frumin Councilmember for Ward 3 DCPS, MacArthur High School- Community Working Group Meeting #(Aug.
