The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the proposed FY 2026 Grant Budget Modifications for the District of Columbia, which require review and approval by the Council. The modifications include several federal grant requests from various agencies, such as the Office of the State Superintendent of Education and the Department of Health. Notably, the Office of the State Superintendent is requesting funding for the establishment of a preschool program and facilities, totaling approximately $8.5 million, while the Department of Health seeks funding to strengthen public health initiatives with a request of over $2.6 million.
The document emphasizes the importance of these budget modifications and provides contact information for further inquiries, specifically directing questions to Jason Kim, the Deputy Budget Director. The proposed modifications aim to enhance educational and public health services in the District, reflecting the administration's commitment to improving community resources and support systems.
