The resolution requests the reprogramming of $88,871.14 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) budget, specifically for the Walker-Jones Education Campus. The funds are earmarked to cover overtime expenses for custodial staff and to purchase essential supplies for summer programming, as the campus is actively used during the summer months and currently lacks a Foreman, necessitating additional custodial support. The reallocation will involve transferring funds from accounts designated for clothing, professional services, and electronic learning to those for custodial supplies and overtime pay.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the DCPS budget or the District's financial plan. Although the amount is below the $500,000 threshold that requires Council approval, a previous reprogramming from DCPS has already been approved, resulting in a cumulative change that exceeds this threshold. The OCFO has indicated that the funds are available and necessary to ensure the operational efficiency and safety of the Walker-Jones Education Campus, emphasizing that postponing the reprogramming could lead to challenges in staffing and supply management, potentially compromising the school's operations.
