|---|
| 20 | + | Dear Secretary Smith: |
|---|
| 21 | + | Today, I am introducing the "MacArthur High School Designation Act |
|---|
| 22 | + | of 2023". I look forward to the |
|---|
| 23 | + | opening |
|---|
| 24 | + | of this new high school in Ward 3, beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, and am grateful |
|---|
| 25 | + | for the work done by District |
|---|
| 26 | + | of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), the MacArthur High School staff, |
|---|
| 27 | + | and the neighboring community to set our students up for success. |
|---|
| 28 | + | This legislation, a signed copy |
|---|
| 29 | + | of which is enclosed, comes at the request of DCPS to ensure the new |
|---|
| 30 | + | high school |
|---|
| 31 | + | is adequately prepared for the coming school year. Making official the current temporary |
|---|
| 32 | + | name "MacArthur High School" will enable the school to begin procurement |
|---|
| 33 | + | of necessary materials |
|---|
| 34 | + | for students, staff, and the facility. |
|---|
| 35 | + | During the Community Working Group process for the high school, DCPS conducted a public online |
|---|
| 36 | + | survey |
|---|
| 37 | + | to solicit school name nominations. More than 540 community members participated, and the |
|---|
| 38 | + | name "MacArthur High School" received the most support.' Many respondents emphasized the desire |
|---|
| 39 | + | for continuity by maintaining the name that DCPS and the community had been using for more than a |
|---|
| 40 | + | year, |
|---|
| 41 | + | as well as designating a name based on a location, not a person: the high school is located on |
|---|
| 42 | + | MacArthur Boulevard. I support both sentiments. |
|---|
| 43 | + | Should you have any questions about this legislation, please contact my Legislative Assistant, Elias |
|---|
| 44 | + | Benda, at ebenda@dccouncil.gov or (202) 394-8293. |
