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 & FY 2025 At-Risk

Concentration Funds - 1010212 in the amount of $30,486,721.32 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 personnel budgets based on current

priorities and students’ academic and social-emotional needs. It also includes the budgeting of

additional Schools First in Budgeting and additional Ward 7 and 8 Elementary School Funding

allocated by DC Council. 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

Council of the District of Columbia

Washington, DC 20004-3001

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 $30,486,721 within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed

to properly align funding for At-Risk, Schools First, and the needs of various schools in Wards 7 and 8.

This action will reprogram budget authority between DCPS’ Schools and School-Wide divisions, across multiple

Account Groups. Funds are available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation but require reallocation to

properly align school budgets.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an adverse impact on

DCPS’ budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to this reprogramming request.

Sincerely,

Glen Lee

DATE:         September 11, 2024

SUBJECT:      FY25 Annual Schoolwide Summer Reprogramming Personnel Spending

DCPS is requesting a budget reprograming of $30,030,242.08 in Local funds budget authority and

$456,479.24 in At-Risk Concentration funds budget authority within DCPS for its annual school-

based summer reprogramming.

Why are the funds needed?

  • This local funding reprogramming submission is budget neutral and reflects the within-

     school reprogramming requests where schools made shifts to personnel budgets 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?

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.

 1200 First Street, NE | Washington, DC 20002 | T 202.442.5885 | F 202.442.5026 | dcps.dc.gov

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.
