Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,440,000 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local funds from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) to support High Impact Tutoring (HIT) managers at ten Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) schools within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reallocation will involve moving budget authority from the Government Subsidies and Grants account to various accounts that cover additional gross pay, supplies, and other necessary services for the HIT initiative. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not negatively impact OSSE's budget or the District's financial plan.

The reprogramming does not involve restoring any previously authorized budget cuts or establishing new programs that have been denied by the Council. It is essential for the timely hiring of the ten HIT managers, as any delays could hinder the implementation of state initiatives and the overall goals of the grant. The reallocation of funds is crucial to ensure that the tutoring program can effectively provide support and services to the targeted schools.
