Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,018,211.64 within the Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reallocation is aimed at supporting essential supplies and special payments for educators, ensuring that school-based employees receive the necessary resources to meet their administrative needs. The request complies with the D.C. Official Code and has been justified as necessary due to prior reallocations made by the Council to address personnel needs. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has confirmed that this reprogramming will not negatively impact the DCPS budget or the District's overall financial plan.

The resolution details a series of financial adjustments across various programs and cost centers within the DCPS budget, indicating a strategic reallocation of resources to better align with the operational needs of schools. It specifies the amounts to be decreased and increased across multiple accounts, ensuring transparency and accountability in the budget management process. Approval from the agency, the DC Council, and the Office of Budget and Planning is required for these proposed shifts, which aim to optimize the use of funds while maintaining financial stability within the local fund.
