The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the FY 2026 Grant Budget Modifications for the District of Columbia, which includes adjustments to both federal and private grant allocations. The modifications detail specific grants, such as the "Strong Connections Technical Assistance" grant from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, which requests $128,064, and the "Local Food for Schools COOPE" grant, also from the Office of the State Superintendent, requesting $422,500. Additionally, the District of Columbia Public Schools is seeking $58,800 for the "Project Lead the Way" grant.

These budget modifications are intended to establish various programs and initiatives, with no requests related to COVID-19. The Mayor's letter emphasizes the importance of these modifications and offers assistance for any inquiries from the Council regarding the proposed changes. The submission is part of the Mayor's responsibilities under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, ensuring that the Council is informed and able to review the proposed budget adjustments.
