On April 29, 2026, Mayor Muriel Bowser submitted a request to the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $550,000 within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) Special Purpose Revenue Funds for Fiscal Year 2026. This reprogramming aims to allocate funds specifically for overtime pay for custodians under the Building Use Agreement, ensuring that the funds are directed to their intended account. The request is supported by a detailed memorandum justifying the need for the reallocation, which is necessary to align the budget with actual expenditures and avoid burdening local funds.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor's request and indicated that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the DCPS budget or the District's financial plan. The funds will be reallocated from the Contractual Services account to the Overtime Pay account, allowing for proper budgeting in future fiscal years. The OCFO has expressed no objections to the reprogramming request, emphasizing its importance in maintaining the financial integrity of the DCPS budget.
