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 $112,000 within the
Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE). The funds are needed to properly align
the budget to cover tuition costs for DC Futures students.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by the 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, from Account
Group 713100C (Other Services and Charges) to Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies
and Grants). 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 $112,000 of Local 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
