The Gardner Bishop Elementary School Redesignation Act of 2025 aims to officially rename Brent Elementary School, located in Ward 6, to Gardner Bishop Elementary School. This decision follows a community-driven process that included a survey and voting, reflecting the values and preferences of the school community. Gardner Bishop was a notable civil rights activist who played a significant role in the fight against school segregation in the District during the 1940s and 1950s. His legacy is seen as more representative of the school's current values compared to the previous namesake, who was associated with the oppressive Black Codes.

The bill designates the school located in Lot 33 in Square 792, bounded by North Carolina Avenue, S.E., 4th Street, S.E., D Street, S.E., and 3rd Street, S.E., as Gardner Bishop Elementary School. It includes a fiscal impact statement and outlines the process for the act to take effect, which requires approval by the Mayor, a congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
