Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47- 363(a) and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the

Capital funds budget authority and allotment in the amount of $4,000,000 from the District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to the Department of Employment Services (DOES).

This reprogramming is needed to fund unforeseen challenges due to existing conditions at the
DOES DC Infrastructure Academy at Spingarn facility (DCIA). These issues were not identifiable
through standard pre-design surveys, visual inspections, or available record documentation.

Capital budget will be reprogrammed from the projects below:

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DCPS or DOES budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no
objection to this reprogramming request.
