Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $5,000,000 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) budget to address increased classroom needs at Burroughs Elementary School due to rising enrollment. The funds will be sourced from completed or unnecessary modernization projects within the DCPS capital budget, ensuring that the overall financial plan of the District remains unaffected. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed and approved this request, confirming that the reallocation will not disrupt other ongoing projects.

The resolution specifically targets the modernization and renovation of Burroughs Elementary School, identified as project number 100247. The reprogramming is deemed essential to facilitate timely classroom expansions, as delaying the funds until the next fiscal year could hinder the project's effectiveness. Importantly, the reallocation will not cause delays to any other projects, and inquiries can be directed to Brandon Hill, the Budget Officer, for further information.
