While D.C. braces for cuts, Bowser proposes another boost for schools
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), previewing parts of her budget proposal for next year, said Thursday she wants to fund programs that reduce the cost of child care and pay stipends to preschool teachers.
Together, the Pre-K Enhancement and Expansion Program, Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund and D.C. Child Care Subsidy Program would cost $175.5 million, an almost $11 million increase from last year.
