On May 5, 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the reprogramming of $5,517,836.31 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the Department of Health to facilitate the transition of the School Health Service Program and School-Based Health Centers from contractor support to internal management. The funds will be reallocated from the Community Health Services and Community Services divisions to cover personnel costs and contractual services. The Chief Financial Officer confirmed that this reprogramming will not negatively impact the Department of Health's budget or the District's financial plan, and it is essential to maintain support for these health services, which would be jeopardized if the reprogramming is delayed.

The resolution also details the budgetary allocations for the Family Health Bureau, which has a total budget of approximately $27.6 million after adjustments. It includes provisions for creating 195 new positions, primarily for School Health Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses, to enhance health services in schools. The document outlines specific salary plans and estimated fringe benefits for these positions, emphasizing the importance of adequate staffing to ensure effective health services for students. Overall, the resolution aims to promote better health outcomes for students, contributing to their academic success and well-being through improved health service delivery.
