St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School Revenue Bonds Project Approval Resolution of 2026

This resolution authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $30.5 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds to help St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School fund and refinance its school facilities. The funds will specifically support improvements at the school's existing campuses and the construction of a new 33,000-square-foot middle school building. The legislation ensures that the District has no financial liability for these bonds, meaning the school itself is responsible for repaying the debt.
