Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,018,211.64 within the Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds for the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reallocation aims to provide essential supplies and special payments for educators, ensuring that the funds are effectively utilized to meet the administrative needs of school-based employees. The request is compliant with the D.C. Official Code and includes a justification for the necessity of these funds, which were previously redirected by the Council to address personnel needs. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the DCPS budget or the District's overall financial plan.

The resolution details specific budget adjustments across various programs and accounts within the DCPS, indicating both increases and decreases in expenditure authority. It emphasizes that the reprogramming does not create new programs or alter previously established allocations by the Council, but rather ensures that resources are aligned with the operational needs of the agency. The adjustments are crucial to prevent delays in special pay for educators and to maintain fiscal responsibility while supporting the educational initiatives of the DCPS. Overall, the resolution seeks to facilitate necessary financial adjustments while adhering to budgetary regulations and oversight.
