The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the proposed FY 2026 Grant Budget Modifications for the District of Columbia. It includes requests for federal and private grants aimed at various educational initiatives, such as the "Strong Connections Technical Assistance" program and the "Local Food for Schools" initiative, with budget amounts of $128,064 and $422,500 respectively. Additionally, the District of Columbia Public Schools is seeking $58,800 for the "Project Lead the Way" program.

The modifications are intended to establish these programs, and no full-time equivalent (FTE) positions are requested in conjunction with these grants. The Mayor's office has made provisions for the Council to address any questions regarding these budget modifications through the Deputy Budget Director, Jason Kim.
