MEMORANDUM

THRU: Deloras Shephers
Associate al Officer

FROM: Paris Saunders
Agency Fiscal O! h. y
Christina Grant Haas
State Superintendent of Education
DATE: July 22, 2021
SUBJECT: FY 2021 Reprogramming Request for Local Funds: OSSE Division of
Student Transportation (DOT)
The Office of Special Education Transportation (GOO) is requesting a reprogramming of Local fund
(0100) in the amount of $2,000,000.00 from personnel services (PS) to non-personnel services
(NPS) to ensure OSSE Division of Student Transportation is able to meet the agency's federally
mandated requirements to provide transportation services and required accommodations to
residentsofthe DistrictofColumbia that are eligible students with disabilities and 504 plans as
required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Why are the funds needed?
The reprogramming of these funds will reduce the current budget pressures that OSSE DOT is
experiencing related to the decrease in Medicaid revenue due to the COVID-19 Public Health
Emergency. Medicaid reimbursement is based on cligible students receiving transportation
services on the day they receive a billable related service. Due to the hybrid and virtual leaning
postureofschools, OSSE DOT is experiencing lower than planned transportation service requests,
resulting in a decrease in Medicaid revenue. OSSE DOT's original budget of $9M has been
reduced to S4M. The reprogramming of local funds is necessary to procure contractual services
necessary to support the maintenance of its bus fleet, nursing services as required by the students
Individualized Education Plan (IEP), alternative transportation services, and uniforms forstaffas
required by the unions Collective Bargaining Agreement.

District of Columbia that are eligible students with disabilities and 504 plans as required by the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The agency faced the same issues in the
