This reallocation is aimed at correcting budget allocations to better align with programmatic needs, covering essential areas such as personnel services, program services, and payments to subgrantees. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact OSSE's overall budget or the District's financial plan, emphasizing the urgency of these adjustments to avoid delays in fulfilling financial obligations.
The resolution details the budget adjustments for the fiscal year 2025, which runs from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, and outlines the necessary approvals for shifting funds across various categories. The total budget authority is set at $4,588,343.19, with a net decrease and increase of $857,070.02 in different expenditure types, primarily focusing on personnel and non-personnel services. Significant changes include a reduction in grants and gratuities and an increase in professional services for career and technical education programs.
