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 $38,000 within the
Office of the State Superintendent of Education’s (OSSE). The funds are needed to replace aging
equipment in the Office of General Education Development.

This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from OSSE has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of OSSE of more than $500,000.

This action will reprogram budget authority within OSSE’s Early Learning division, Account
Group 713100C (Other Services and Charges) to Account Group 717100C (Purchases Equipment
and Machinery). Funds are available in OSSE’s budget based on the original appropriation but
require reallocation to meet programmatic needs.

The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2025 Reprogramming Request for $38,000 of Local Funds Budget Authority within the Office of the State

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

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer

SUBJECT: FY 2025 Request to Reprogram $38,000 of Local Funds within the Office of
the State Superintendent of Education: Division of Post Secondary Education, Office of GED
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The
Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) requests to reprogram FY 2025
Local funds (1010001) in the amount $38,000 within the Division of Post Secondary Education (PCE), Office of GED to reallocate FY25
funding to the correct budget load.
Why are the funds needed?
This reprogramming of funds is required to align with FY25 spending to cover the cost of aging equipment which is programmatically
imperative to GED's operation.
Is this a reprogramming to 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 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? This reprogramming does not
establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied limited or increased by the Council in the budget act.
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 or change
allocations specifically denied limited or increased by the Council in the budget act.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
The funds will be reprogrammed as follows:
How will the funds be reprogrammed?

Maintenance).

Increase
• Program 400349: There will be an increase in Cost Center: 40239; Account 7171003 (Equipment).
Why are the funds available?
These funds are available due to a budget realignment and a change in programmatic initiatives to support the appropriate legislative initiatives.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year?
The programs mission will not be supported if this action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year.
Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 10 in October 2025, which means there will be no more security patches, making our
equipment vulnerable and insecure. Most computers in the GED, being over 10 years old, do not support Windows 11. This means new
computers that support Windows 11 are required. Since these units seems to be critical infrastructure for the District of Columbia, it is highly
advised that these testing units be purchased as soon as possible to remain in security compliance as per the Chief Information Officer of the
District of Columbia.
We have cut the initial order in half, aligning our computer order with what is absolutely necessary to meet the current testing demand. If we
are unable to move this order forward we will have to discontinue mobile testing for DYRS and DOC inmates and we would need to drastically
limit testing at the GED Testing center to only 10 applicants a day. This would actually increase overall costs because it would require we offer
testing more frequently to meet the demand which would require contracting with more test administrators.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the impact on the program or agency? GED
will not be able to support its initiatives if this action is delayed.
Should you have any questions, please contact Elvira Barksdale, Budget Analyst at 202-724-4044.
