The Honorable Phil Mendelson
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
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 $186,199 for the District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed to properly align the budget to support
administrative pay for eligible employees.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from DCPS has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of DCPS of more than $500,000.
This action will reprogram budget authority from DCPS’ Schools division, Account Groups
701100C (Continuing Full Time), 701200C (Continuing Full Time – Others), 701300C
(Additional Gross Pay), 701500C (Overtime Pay), and 714100C (Government Subsidies and
Grants), to DCPS’ School-Wide division, Account Group 701300C (Additional Gross Pay). Funds
are available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation but require reallocation to
support costs for school staff personnel.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $186,199 of Local Funds Budget Authority within the District of Columbia

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

DATE: March 25, 2026
SUBJECT: FY 2026 Request to Reprogram $186,199.00 within the District of Columbia
Public Schools Local Funds Budget, Fund 1010001
The District of Columbia Public Schools requests to reprogram $186,199.00 within the agency’s
Local Fund 1010001 to align budgets to their proper needs in the FY26 budget.
Why are the funds needed?
Funds were moved by Council during the summer of 2025 to support Schools’ personnel needs;
this reprogramming helps to fund the additional “administrative add-ons" that are included with
each budgeted FTE and managed centrally. This movement of funds does not change any
educator FTE amounts – it will instead support special pay that school-based employees are
eligible to receive based on their union affiliation.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.

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?
Yes, while this does not establish any new programs, this is will adjust funds increased by
Council. The funds, which were initially allocated to schools as a part of Schools First In
Budgeting, are being moved as described above to help school-based employees.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See the attached worksheet for details.
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available as Schools were given provided the full FTE amount, including
administrative add-ons that are swept centrally. These funds are being moved centrally to
oversee the administrative costs associated with school-based FTE.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
We would potentially be short in paying out special pay payments to educators.
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 Brandon Hill at Brandon.Hill1@dc.gov.
