Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia

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 2025 Federal Payment funds budget authority in the amount of $4,164,008
within the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE). Budget authority is needed to
support professional services, contractual services, and to procure supplies and equipment related
to the District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant application cycle.

This action will reprogram budget authority within OSSE’s College and Career division, from
Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants) to Account Groups 711100C
(Supplies and Materials), 713100C (Other Services and Charges), 713200C (Contractual Services
– Other), and 717100C ( Purchase Equipment and Machinery) . Budget authority is available in
OSSE’s budget based on the original appropriation but requires reallocation to meet programmatic
needs.

The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2025 Reprogramming Request for $4,164,008 of Federal Payment Funds Budget Authority within the Office of
the State Superintendent of Education

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
