Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, (D.C. Official Code § 47-363 et seq.), I
am submitting a request to reprogram FY 2025 Local Funds – 1010001 in the amount of $8,093,770.41
within the DCPS. This request also reprograms FY 2025 At-Risk Concentration Funds – 1010212 in the
amount of $74,558.00 within the DCPS. This reprogramming is part of DCPS’s annual school-
based summer reprogramming. It includes within-school reprogramming requests where schools
made shifts to non-personnel budgets based on current priorities and students’ academic and social-
emotional needs. It also includes the budgeting of Schools First in Budgeting dollars along with other
additional funds allocated by DC Council to schools. The funds will be reprogrammed as outlined
on the attached attributes sheet and additional details are contained in the agency’s submission.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer’s favorable
review.
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser

Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, Pub. L. No. 118-83, approved September
26, 2024, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to
reprogram Fiscal Year 2025 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $8,093,770 within the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
This action will reprogram budget authority within DCPS’ Schools division across multiple
Account Groups. Funds are needed to align the budget to support DCPS operations. Funds are
available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation but require reallocation to properly
align with school spending plans.

FROM: Dr. Lewis Ferebee, Chancellor

DATE: September 11, 2024
SUBJECT: FY25 Annual Schoolwide Summer Reprogramming (Non-Personnel
Spending)
DCPS is requesting a budget reprograming of $8,019,212.41 in Local funds budget authority and
$74,558.00 in At-Risk Concentration funds budget authority within DCPS for its annual school-
based summer reprogramming. This reprogramming includes funding from Schools First in
Budgeting dollars reprogrammed into Non-Personnel spending dollars.
Why are the funds needed?
• This local funding reprogramming submission is budget neutral and reflects within-
school reprogrammings where schools made shifts to non-personnel budgets and
additional compensation lines based on current priorities and students’ academic and
social-emotional needs.
• The within-school reprogrammings include the additional at-risk funds (AR
concentration), Schools First in Budgeting funds (local), and Wards 7 & 8 Elementary
Enhancement funds (local) appropriated to schools by the DC Council after budgets were
submitted by the Mayor in the spring.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
This programming does not restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Please see the attached DIFS Journal Budget Entry form for details of the reprogramming.
Why are the funds available?
1200 First Street, NE | Washington, DC 20002 | T 202. 442. 5885 | F 202. 442. 5026 | dcps.dc.gov
These funds are being reprogrammed pursuant to DC Code 47-363(a). The additional at-risk,
School First in Budgeting, and Wards 7 & 8 funds are available due to appropriations from the
DC Council.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If this action is postponed, DCPS will risk delays in programming, spending at-risk funds, and
paying salaries and benefits.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming. Should you have any
questions, please contact the DCPS School Finance Team at dcps.schoolfunding@k12.dc.gov.
