The high cost of renting appropriate space is a significant obstacle to the provision of quality public education. The location, design, and amenities of District of Columbia Public School properties offer some of the best options for public charter schools. Co-Location or “Space-Sharing” grants are intended to improve District of Columbia Public Schools which provide space to public charter schools. Space-Sharing grants also encourage the development of innovative and collaborative programs between District of Columbia Public Schools and public charter schools which share, or will share a facility.
