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 Capital Paygo funds in the amount of $13,671,344.18
from the District of Columbia Public Schools capital budget to the Department of General Services
operating budget. This reprogramming is necessary to fund the acquisition costs of Eagle Academy
Public Charter School for use as a swing campus for schools in Ward 7 and 8 undergoing
modernizations. 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.

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 Capital funds budget authority and allotment in the amount of $13,671,344 from the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to the Department of General Services (DGS).
This reprogramming will allow DCPS to utilize the property formerly occupied by the Eagle
Academy Charter School as a swing campus for DCPS schools based in Wards 7 and 8 while their
facilities undergo modernizations. These funds will be used to pay off an existing lease between
the Eagle Academy Charter School, a charter school that is no longer in operations, and a third-
party bank. To prevent the potential transfer of the leaseholder’s interest to another organization,
the District is exercising its right under the lease agreement and will pay the required release
amount to revert the property back to the District for its own use.
Paygo Capital budget will be reprogrammed from the projects below, through the PA0 Reverse
Paygo project number 100958:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs (OPLA)
FROM: Dr. Lewis Ferebee
Chancellor
District of Columbia Public Schools
DATE: November 4, 2024
SUBJECT: FY 2025 Request to Reprogram $13,671,344.18 ($12,671,344.18 from the
District of Columbia Public Schools (Owner AGY)/Department of General
Services (Implementer AGY) Capital Budget to the DGS Operating Budget;
and $1,000,000.00 from the District of Columbia Public Schools
(Owner/Implementer AGY) Capital Paygo to the DGS Operating Budget
DCPS requests to reprogram capital PAYGO funds in the amount of $12,671,344.18 from
various District of Columbia Public Schools (Owner AGY)/Department of General Services
(Implementer AGY) Capital Projects and reprogram capital paygo in the amount of
$1,000,000.00 from the District of Columbia Public Schools (Owner/Implementer AGY) capital
project to the DGS Operating Budget for a grand total sum of $13,671,344.18 ($12,671,344.18 +
$1,000,000.00).
Why are the funds needed?
Pursuant to a Lease Agreement between the District of Columbia and Eagle Academy Public
Charter School (“Eagle Academy”) dated October 17, 2011 (the “Lease”), Eagle Academy leases
the District-owned property at 3400 Wheeler Road, SE (the “Property”) for the operation of a
public charter school, through 2036 with options to extend the lease through 2086. However, in
August 2024 Eagle Academy relinquished its charter and ceased school operations.
Subsequently, on August 23, 2024, Eagle Academy’s lender, John Marshall Bank (the “Bank”),
notified the District that Eagle Academy had defaulted on its loan from the Bank and that the
Bank intended to initiate foreclosure proceedings. The Bank’s loan to Eagle Academy provided
funds for the construction and modernization of the Property including the school building,
which has been completed.
DCPS has identified the Property as a school building and grounds that can serve as a swing
campus for public schools undergoing modernizations in Wards 7 and 8. Therefore, the District
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
John A. Wilson Building | 4110 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Suite 513 | Washington, DC 20004
wants to exercise its rights under the Lease to acquire Eagle’s leasehold interest (and thereby
have the property for District use) prior to the Bank foreclosing and potentially transferring the
leasehold interest to a third party. Per the terms of the Lease and a Letter of Intent entered into
with the Bank, dated October 29, 2024, the District has the right to extinguish the Bank’s
Leasehold Collateral Interest in the Property by paying the outstanding principal amount due to
the Bank. The Bank has agreed that once it receives the Release Amount from the District, it will
release any and all of its interest and rights to the Property. It is estimated that the amount owed
as of October 22,2024, inclusive of principal, interest, penalties and fees, is $13,671,344.18.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
PAYGO capital budget in the amount of $13,671,344.18 will be reprogrammed from AM0
Implementing AGY projects and GA0 Implemented project below, through the Reverse PAYGO
PA0 project,100958, to the DGS operating budget.
