D.C. summer school expanded in passage of $241m supplemental budget

The D.C. Council backed a $241 million supplemental budget on Tuesday, opening up thousands of additional seats in summer school and funneling millions of dollars into housing initiatives.

Lawmakers gave swift approval to the proposal from Mayor Vincent Gray, who submitted the supplemental package in late March, though they sought to put their own imprint on the measure during a rancorous session muddled with handwritten amendments and procedural fights.
