authority within District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
DCPS is requesting a budget reprograming of $1,627,136.17 in locally appropriated funds budget
authority within DCPS for the purpose of strategic staffing changes at several DCPS schools.
Why are the funds needed?
These funds are needed to ensure funding is available for strategic staffing changes that have
occurred at several schools along with adjustments to the budgets for additional compensation
for school based programming.
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
This reprogramming does not restore any budget cut.
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 neither establishes new programs nor changes any allocations specifically
denied, limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report,
or mark-up sheets.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?

What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
Schools will not have their planned budgets in additionally compensation for some summer or
start of school year programming.

the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming.
