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) to address mid-year staffing changes. This reallocation aims to adjust personnel budgets to better meet the academic and social-emotional needs of students without creating new programs or altering previously approved allocations. 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 resolution details the specific budget adjustments necessary for implementing strategic staffing changes and additional compensation for school-based programming across various DCPS schools. It includes a comprehensive review of financial allocations, ensuring that resources are effectively directed to enhance educational services and support operational needs. The approval of this budget reprogramming is deemed essential for the successful implementation of the proposed staffing and compensation strategies, ultimately aiming to improve educational outcomes for students.
