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 $625,290.50 within
the DCPS. The funds are needed to reflect within-school cost center reprogramming where schools made
shifts to adjust their non personnel spending budgets based on current priorities and students’ academic
and social-emotional needs. 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 c onsideration of this request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer’s
favorable review.
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser

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
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 $625,291 within the District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) . The funds are needed to properly align the budget to support
changed priorities and students’ academic and social-emotional needs.

This action will reprogram budget authority within DCPS’ Schools division, across multiple
Account Groups. Funds are available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation but
require reallocation to support individual school priorities and initiatives.

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 M. Lee
Chief Financial Officer
