The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001

Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Pursuant 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 $95,000 within the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed to pay administrative premium
costs for teachers providing additional support to extracurricular clubs and activities.

This 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.

This action will reprogram budget authority within DCPS’ School General Education division,
from Account Group 713100C (Other Services and Charges) to Account Group 701300C
(Additional Gross Pay). Funds are available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation
but require reallocation to properly align school budgets.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2025 Reprogramming Request for $95,000 of Local Funds Budget Authority within the District of Columbia

The 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.

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer

SUBJECT: FY25 Reprogramming Request for $95,000 of local funds budget authority
within District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).

DCPS is requesting a budget reprogramming of $95,000 in local funds budget authority within
DCPS for Coolidge HS.

Why are the funds needed?
Coolidge HS needs to load funds to our Admin. Premium because additional funds are needed,
and we need to ensure that we are not left in the rears.

Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
This reprogramming does not restore a budget cut by the Mayor and/or Council.

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?
No, this reprogramming is not establishing new programs.

How will the funds be reprogrammed?
The funds will be reprogrammed from Out of City Travel to Administrative Premium.

FY25 Reprogramming Request for $95,000 of local funds budget authority within District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) (page 2)

Why are the funds available?
The funds are available because we are not able to spend our local travel funds as planned, due to
the current budget restrictions.

What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
Coolidge HS will not be able to pay teachers that are providing extra coverage, extracurricular
clubs and activities.

What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No other programs or services will be delayed as a result of the reprogramming request.

Should you have any questions, please contact Charrise Baylor, Sr. Budget Analyst
