  2. Education Case Study James F. Oyster School Washington, DC

  3. James F. Oyster School • Public elementary school in Washington, DC • Only bilingual school in Washington public school system; dual-language immersion programme • 350 students • Built in 1926 • By the mid-1900s, the school building was in dire need of replacement/renovation

  4. James F. Oyster School • The Washington, DC School System was unable to meet the needs at Oyster School • Fiscal constraints meant that there was virtually no funding available for school construction and modernization • The District had not built a new school in more than 20 years • The District had operated for more than 20 years without a long-range facilities plan • The parents of the Oyster School students organized to pressure the DC government into action, and formed a nonprofit organization, the 21st Century School Fund, to assist the government in this effort.

  6. James F. Oyster School The 21st Century School Fund and the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) worked together to gain support for a public-private partnership from the Mayor, City Council, and Board of Education The Fund and DCPS envisioned leveraging an underutilized asset, the undeveloped half of the Oyster School lot, to obtain a new school. Proposals were solicited from the private sector in 1998, using a competitive bidding process.

  7. James F. Oyster School • The key aspects of the selected partnership were: • The District deeded the excess land to the developer, who built a 211-unit, nine-story apartment building on the site. • The private developer financed, designed (with DCPS and community input), and built a 47,512 square foot state-of-the-art school on the site of the old Oyster School. The new school included a computer lab, gym, library, and underground parking garage. • The developer financed the school through a 35-year tax-exempt bond issue, which is being retired by payments in lieu of taxes by the apartment building owner. • Upon completion of the new $11 million school, the developer turned it over to the DCPS. The school opened for classes in the fall of 2000.
