On June 13, 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $1,500,000 from the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) capital budget to fund a customized software system designed to integrate data related to procurement, human resources, and fiscal operations. The funds will be shifted from the Technology Modernization Initiative project to the IT - Data Infrastructure project, as the former does not require additional funding this fiscal year. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the request and confirmed that this reprogramming will not negatively impact the DCPS budget or the District's financial plan, as the funds are available due to a carryover balance from the previous fiscal year.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of timely action to avoid increased burdens on local operating revenue, which could affect various programs and services. The OCFO has expressed no objections to the reprogramming, and the Mayor is optimistic about the Council's favorable response. For any budget-related inquiries, individuals are encouraged to reach out to the Budget Officer, Jeremy Speikes, and the resolution also includes communication to relevant financial authorities regarding the matter.
