Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $6,857,347 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the Office of the State Superintendent of Education's Division of Early Learning (DEL) to support Early Intervention and Strong Start Human Care Agreements (HCA). This reallocation involves moving funds from Government Subsidies and Grants to Contractual Services to ensure the agency can effectively meet its obligations. The request is backed by a detailed justification and has been reviewed by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), which confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution specifically outlines a decrease of $6,857,347 in the Grants & Gratuities account and a corresponding increase in the Contractual Services account, aligning the budget with the fiscal year 2025 spending plan. It emphasizes that this reprogramming does not restore any previous budget cuts and is essential to prevent misalignment that could affect Early Intervention services. Importantly, the resolution assures that no programs or services will be delayed as a result of this reprogramming, ensuring continuity in service provision.
