The resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser requests the reprogramming of $31,945 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) specifically for the Leckie Education Campus. The funds are intended to cover overtime costs and purchase general supplies necessary for the beginning of the school year. The reprogramming will involve reallocating budget authority from professional services and contracts to custodial overtime and supplies, ensuring that the school can meet its operational needs without negatively impacting other budgeted areas.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming does not exceed the $500,000 threshold requiring Council approval, although it will result in a cumulative budget change exceeding that amount due to a prior approved reprogramming. The Office of Budget and Planning has indicated that this reprogramming will not adversely affect the overall DCPS budget or the District's financial plan. The Mayor's office and the CFO are seeking favorable action from the Council to facilitate this necessary funding adjustment for the upcoming school year.
