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 Capital funds budget authority
and allotment in the amount of $6,000,000 within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
T
his reprogramming will fund costs related to unanticipated structural issues such as replacing ceiling joists
and concrete slabs that were not included in the project’s original scope of work but later identified during
the design phase of the Burroughs Elementary School Modernization project.
C
apital budget will be reprogrammed from the projects below:
AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
GA0/AM0 100150 AM0.PW337C.JO WILSON ES
MODERNIZATION/RENOVATION $ 4,387,075.19
GA0/AM0 100292 AM0.YY176C WHITLOCK ES
RENOVATION/MODERNIZATION
$ 1,612,924.81
TOTAL $ 6,000,000.00
C
apital budget will be reprogrammed to the capital project as below:
AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
GA0/AM0 100247 AM0.TB237C.BURROUGHS ES
MODERNIZATION/RENOVATION $ 6,000,000.00
TOTAL $ 6,000,000.00
The Honorable Phil Mendelson
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $6,000,000.00 of Capital Funds Budget Authority and Allotment within the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS)
C
apital budget in the amount of $6,000,000 is available in these two DCPS projects because the
funds for planned work have either been disbursed or the work has been completed, and no
additional funding is needed.
T
he Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DCPS or DGS’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no
objection to this reprogramming request.
