Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $130,000 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local funds within the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) to support the Division of Post Secondary Education. This funding is specifically aimed at covering tuition costs for students enrolled in the Advanced Technical Center, which collaborates with universities to provide essential educational services. The reallocation will shift funds from the "Other Services and Charges" account to the "Government Subsidies and Grants" account, ensuring that the program can continue to operate effectively. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not negatively impact OSSE's budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution also outlines the overall budget for the Office of Career and Technical Education for Fiscal Year 2025, totaling $4,461,985.96. This budget includes various categories such as personnel services, non-personnel services, and participant wages, with notable adjustments including a $130,000 reduction in professional services. The document provides a detailed financial overview, ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of funds allocated for career and technical education programs, while also highlighting the importance of the reprogramming to maintain the operational capacity of the Advanced Technical Center.
