On June 17, 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the reprogramming of $538,484.59 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the Department of Health to support the School Health Service Program and School-Based Health Centers. This reallocation is necessary due to the cessation of contractor services after the 2024-2025 school year, which has created a need to cover personnel costs and benefits. The funds will be moved from the Community Health Services division to ensure the continued operation of these essential health services. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not adversely affect the Department of Health's budget or the District's financial plan, indicating a favorable outlook for the Council's approval.

The resolution also details the budgetary allocations for the Health Services Bureau for Fiscal Year 2025, with a total budget of approximately $4.34 million, including a significant focus on family health services. It outlines the need for additional staffing, including Nurse Assistants, a Public Health Analyst, and a Program Coordinator, to meet operational demands. Furthermore, the resolution provides a breakdown of financial adjustments and forecasts for staffing and expenditures, ensuring that the budget aligns with projected needs throughout the fiscal year. Overall, the resolution aims to secure adequate funding and staffing for effective health service delivery within the community, emphasizing the importance of timely action by the Council.
