On September 29, 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the reprogramming of $1,627,136.17 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds for the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reallocation aims to address mid-year staffing changes and enhance personnel budgets to better support the academic and social-emotional needs of students across various schools. The request includes a detailed justification for the funds, which will be sourced from existing budget categories to provide additional compensation for school-based programming and necessary staffing adjustments.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming would not negatively impact the DCPS budget or the District's financial plan, as the funds are available due to vacancy savings. The adjustments will be made within school budgets without affecting central or schoolwide program codes. The resolution highlights the importance of these budget changes in effectively implementing planned programs and staffing modifications, ultimately contributing to the mission of DCPS to deliver quality education and meet the evolving needs of its students.
