Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,440,000 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local funds within the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) to support High Impact Tutoring (HIT) managers at ten Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) schools in the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reallocation will shift budget authority from the Government Subsidies and Grants account to various accounts that cover additional gross pay, supplies, materials, and other services. 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, indicating that the funds are available for this purpose.

The resolution specifies that the reprogramming will decrease the Grants and Gratuities account while increasing allocations for Longevity Pay, Educational Supplies, and Professional Services. It emphasizes that this action does not involve restoring previously authorized budget cuts or establishing new programs that have been denied by the Council. The urgency of this reprogramming is highlighted, as delaying it could hinder the effectiveness of the HIT initiative and the achievement of state educational goals. Overall, the resolution aims to ensure that the necessary resources are allocated to support the tutoring program without causing financial disruptions.
