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 $31,114 within the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed to compensate eligible staff
working summer programs and school start preparations.

This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by the 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’ Schools division, from Account Groups
711100C (Supplies and Materials ), 713100C (Other Services and Charges), and 717100C
(Purchases Equipment and Machinery) 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 $31,114 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

authority within District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).

DCPS is requesting a budget reprogramming of $31,113.78 in local funds budget authority within
DCPS for Turner ES.

Why are the funds needed?
Turner ES requires more funds in Admin Premium for summer and school start.

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,

mark-up sheets?
No, this reprogramming neither establishes new programs nor changes allocations.

How will the funds be reprogrammed?
The funds will be reprogrammed from supplies, professional services, and equipment to
administrative premium.

Why are the funds available?

Funds are available because procurement deadlines have passed.

What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
Turner ES will not be able to sufficiently compensate staff who have completed work outside of
their tours of duty.

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 Brandon Hill (Brandon.hill1@dc.gov).
