False.

Both McDuffie and JLG oppose the $1,850 per pupil funding gap in Bowser's budget proposal.

“‘The third thing that is important for me … is making sure that we have a fair funding formula for both our DC public schools and DC charter schools. And so that means everything needs to go through the funding formula. And what we have done is created an inequitable system by taking our funds out of that funding formula and then piecemealing our funding. We need to make sure that all of our students get the dollars they deserve because all of our students deserve the same level of investment.’” — Councilmember Janeese Lewis George, speaking at the Washington Latin Public Charter School education forum

“‘The school funding formula exists for a reason: to ensure every student is funded fairly and transparently. When we pull dollars out of the formula, it is students in our highest-need schools, particularly those in Wards 5, 7 and 8. Every child in the District deserves a quality education, no matter their ZIP code, school, or family income. As Mayor, I will fully fund and follow the funding formula to protect at-risk dollars.’” — Former At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie[/quote]
