DCPS to benefit from tax windfall?

The District looks to collect $100 million more in tax revenues than originally planned. If Mayor Fenty gets his way a large chunk of that change will be spent on school issues.

Fenty plans to ask the D.C. Council to invest about $29 million of the money in the 50,000-student school system, including spending $7 million to offer severance packages to hundreds of central office employees in a massive restructuring being planned by Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee, administration officials said.
