Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $2,031,141.99 of Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This reallocation aims to align the budget with current school priorities and address the academic and social-emotional needs of students. The request complies with the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980 and includes a detailed justification for the fund allocation, which will be shifted among various budget accounts to better support personnel and services in schools. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the DCPS budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution outlines the reprogramming of a total of $30,811,897.64, specifically targeting the Local 1010001 and At-Risk Concentration 1010212 budgets. It details specific line items, including original budget amounts and adjustments made, resulting in a net change of $2,031,141.99. This reprogramming reflects a thorough review of budgetary needs across various school programs, ensuring effective allocation of funds to meet the evolving requirements of schools. The adjustments aim to enhance educational resources and support for at-risk students, ultimately improving educational outcomes. The resolution serves as a formal acknowledgment of these necessary budget adjustments.
