Mapping DC Capital Spending for Public School Facilities

21CSF examined actual and planned capital authorization for DCPS and public charter schools for the fiscal years 1998 through 2021. We partnered in this effort with a handful of generous and skilled free-lance volunteer coders from Code for DC to bring this data and information to the public on a webpage, For Generations to Come. The Code for DC volunteers managed data compilation and created the visualization of these critical civic investments. While annual capital budget data is readily available, information on what is actually spent has been difficult to capture and has never been examined over such a large span of years.   An overview presentation of the District’s capital program more information and the data spread-sheet are available at the 21CSF Data Shop webpage.
