The Honorable Phil Mendelson
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 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $850,000 within the
Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) . The funds are needed to properly align
the Sustainability Grant budget to support District of Columbia Public School Full -Time
Equivalents and contract services costs.
This action will reprogram budget authority from OSSE’s Agency Management Program division,
Account Groups 701100C (Continuing Full Time ) and 714100C (Government Subsidies and
Grants), to OSSE’s Secondary Education division, Account Groups 701100C (Continuing Full
Time), 701400C (Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel ), and 713200C (Contractual Services –
Other). Funds are available in OSSE’s budget based on the original appropriation but require
reallocation to meet programmatic needs.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman

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.
