Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, (D.C. Official Code§ 47-363 et seq.), I am submitting a request
to reprogram FY 2026 Local Funds - 1010001 in the amount of $1,781,911.00 within the District of Columbia Public
Schools. The reprogramming allows school leaders to make budget adjustments to their approved budgets as well as
budgeting additional Schools First in Budgeting Funds. This reprogramming is specifically for funds reprogrammed
into Non-Personnel Parent Accounts as part of the summer reprogramming. The funds will be reprogrammed as
outlined on the attached attributes sheet and additional details are contained in the agency's submission.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer's favorable review.

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 2026 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $1,781,911 within the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed to properly align the non-
personnel services budget based on current priorities and students’ academic and social-emotional
needs.
This action will reprogram the budget authorities within DCPS' Schools division across multiple
Account Groups. Funds are available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation but
require reprogramming to support school priorities and initiatives.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman

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

DATE: September 18, 2025
SUBJECT: FY26 Reprogramming Request for $1,781,911.00 of Local funds budget
authority within District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
DCPS is requesting a budget reprogramming of $1,781,911.00 in Local funds budget authority
within DCPS for its annual school-based summer reprogramming. This reprogramming includes
funding from Schools First in Budgeting dollars reprogrammed into non-personnel spending
dollars.
Why are the funds needed?
This local funding reprogramming submission is budget neutral and reflects within-school
reprogrammings where schools made shifts to non-personnel budgets based on current priorities
and students’ academic and social-emotional needs.
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
This reprogramming does not restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor or Council.
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 does not establish new programs or change allocations that were
specifically denied or limited by the Council in the budget act. This reprogramming does include
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $1,781,911.00 of Local funds budget authority from within DC Public Schools
Page 2
decreases to program codes originally increased by Council at individual cost centers (schools).
As schools budget their Schools First in Budgeting dollars through the reprogramming process,
they may move funding across program codes to better suit their needs. While funds shift
program codes, they remain within the same cost center (school) as allocated by the Budget Act.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Funds will be reprogrammed within cost centers, but across various program codes and account
groups. This reprogramming is specifically for funds reprogrammed into non- personnel parent
accounts as part of the summer reprogramming. There are additional summer reprogramming
submissions for funds moving into personnel parent accounts as well as for over-enrollment budget
assistance (formerly known as enrollment reserve).
Why are the funds available?
These funds are being reprogrammed pursuant to DC Code 47-363(a). Funds are available due to
additional funds allocated to schools, position vacancies, and changes in school priorities.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If this action is postponed, DCPS schools will risk delays in programming.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming. Should you have any
questions, please contact the DCPS School Finance Team at dcps.schoolfunding@k12.dc.gov.
Should you have any questions, please contact Charrise Baylor, Sr. Budget Analyst,
charrise.baylor1@dc.gov or Brandon Hill, Budget Officer, brandon.hill@dc.gov.
