On June 9, 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the reprogramming of $2,512,080.97 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds for the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to address mid-year personnel budget adjustments. This reallocation aims to align the budget with current academic and social-emotional priorities, ensuring that resources are effectively utilized to meet the evolving needs of students as the school year progresses. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, confirmed that this reprogramming is budget neutral and will not adversely affect the overall DCPS budget or the District's financial plan. The adjustments are necessary to avoid delays in programming and ensure timely payment of salaries and benefits.

The resolution details the financial adjustments across various accounts and programs within DCPS, with a total budget reflecting approximately $38,956,039.01. Specific allocations include significant amounts for different cost centers, allowing school leaders to manage resources effectively post the initial school opening. The reprogramming does not restore any previously authorized budget cuts or create new programs, but rather reallocates existing funds to better support educational operations and staffing adjustments. Overall, the resolution emphasizes the importance of flexibility in budget management to enhance the educational experience for students.
