ANC votes 7:0:0 to approve a grant of $1,000 to the Ludlow-Taylor Parent Teacher Organization to support best educational practices in the classroom.
Ludlow-Taylor is unable to continue some programs next year because of lack of funding. And this is a tough year for fundraising.

ANC votes 7:0:0 to approve another grant of $1,000 to Ludlow-Taylor Parent Teacher Organization to help purchase school supplies for students who otherwise cannot afford it.
This disbursement is at the principal's discretion: "she knows who the families are."

7:0:0 to support a potential public restroom pilot at 8th & H St NE with 12th & H St NE as a backup.
This does not mean H St NE will be selected for the pilot.
It may occur at another site in DC but ANC 6A's support is helpful for us having at least two options here.

DC General Services Director John Stokes describes enhanced cleaning procedures, including two staff on hand 24/7 at the facility to ensure sanitization, PPE distribution, and preventing COVID-19.
Commissioners Toomajian and Brown point out that @MayorBowser has prohibited gatherings of more than 50 people so we should not be trying to house 60 people on a basketball court.
Brown says you need at least 144 sq feet for a bed and maintaining 6 feet of physical distancing.
