Mayor Muriel Bowser has proposed a resolution to the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $750,000 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This funding is earmarked for improvements at the Roosevelt High School Pool and will be managed by the Department of General Services. The request is compliant with the D.C. Official Code and includes a justification for the necessity of these funds.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the proposal and confirmed that the reallocation will not negatively impact the budgets of either DPR or DCPS, nor will it disrupt the District's overall financial plan. The funds will be shifted from the Swimming Pool Replacement project to the Major Repairs/Maintenance project for DCPS, ensuring proper tracking of expenses. The resolution reflects a collaborative effort among various officials to effectively manage the District's financial resources while addressing the needs of public schools.
