Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant
to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, (D.C. Official Code § 47-363 et seq.), I am
submitting a request to reprogram FY 2025 Local Funds – 1010001 in the amount of $99,999.00
within the DCPS ( Ellington HS). This reprogramming is submitted to move local funds from
custodial and general education salary/benefits into stipends. This is needed so that Ellington can
invest in additional staff and programming for academic/testing support. The funds will be
reprogrammed as outlined on the attached attribute s sheet and additional details are contained in
the agency’s submission.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer’s
favorable review.
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser

ear Chairman Mendelson:
P
ursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the Full-
Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, approved March 15, 2025, Pub. L. No.
119-4, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to
reprogram Fiscal Year 202 5 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $99,999 within the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed to align resources to support
agency preparation for Comprehensive Assessments of Progress in Education (CAPE), advance
placement tests, and other academic/testing support for Ellington High School support.
T
his reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from DCPS has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of DCPS of more than $500,000.
T
his action will reprogram budget authority within DCPS’ Schools division, from Account Group
701100C (Continuing Full Time) to Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants).
Funds are available due to vacant custodial positions.

T
he Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DCPS’ budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.

SUBJECT: FY 2025 Reprogramming Request for $99,999 of Local funds budget authority within the
District of Columbia Public Schools
The District of Columbia P
ublic Schools requests to reprogram $99,999.00 within the agency’s Local Fund 1010001
for the three custodial positions budgeted at the RW3 level.
Why are the funds needed?
DESA is requesting the reprogramming of DCPS funds allocated for the three custodial positions budgeted at the
RW3 level. Given the substantial custodial support already provided by Bolan a Corporation (MBB), that the current
number of custodial positions is no longer necessary. As an aside, the request for DCPS RW3's were made in the
spring of 2024, but the Bolana allocation is not given until fall of 2024. The misalignment of th e timelines makes
decision‐making for custodial needs difficult to project year‐to‐year. They are reallocating these resources to align
with our priorities, including preparations for CAPE and AP testing and the provision of essential academic support.
Specifically, they need funding to invest in a Writing Center, Testing Coordinator, and Dat a Specialist. Additionally,
they cover the costs of iReady and Alix software programs, which were previously funded by DCPS but are no
longer supported
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
This reprogramming does not restore a budget cut authorized by the mayor and/or Co uncil.
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied, limited, or increased
by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or mark‐up sheets?
This reprogramming does not establish new programs, change allocations specifically denied, limited, or increased
by the Council in the budget act, the accom panying budget report, or mark‐up sheets. This reprogramming is an
independent action performed by a school within their own school budget.
