The resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser requests the reprogramming of $165,000 within the Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reprogramming is necessary to correct a misalignment that occurred during the budget development process, where certain professional services were incorrectly categorized as personnel costs. The funds will be reallocated from the Continuing Full Time account to the Other Services and Charges account to ensure proper budget alignment and support agency operations.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the DCPS budget or the District's financial plan. Although the reprogramming amount is below the $500,000 threshold requiring Council approval, it is noted that this request, combined with a previously approved reprogramming, would exceed that threshold. Therefore, the resolution is submitted for the Council's favorable action to ensure that DCPS can meet its operational needs without risking vendor payments or lapsing on local funds.
