[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you go to all the trouble, you should make sure that this isn't just to reallocate FY 2014 funds.  As an example, I don't think DCI is ready to spend yet, i.e., Walter Reed is not finalized, and may not until FY 2015 (October of this year).  So they may be moving funds to where they can be spent this fiscal year.

Emma Brown does not truly research her articles, she just quotes and puts whatever DCPS sends out into her articles.  Where's the context?  What does it all mean?  Bad reporting.  [/quote]

In looking at the lists, you can see that some of the reductions are because the projects are over and there are small amounts left.  This is not a true "reduction."  The DCI decision is because they can't grant the funds to DCI as a non-profit non governmental entity.  So DCI will have to figure out a way to get a governmental entity to accept the funds on their behalf.  A bureaucratic problem and incredibly annoying, but they can figure it out.

Garrison is getting pushed back to summer of 2015, pushing the renovations back a year.  A bummer for the Garrison parents but some schools have been waiting for 2 decades.  [/quote]

Yes.  This is reprogramming of funds that weren't going to get spent fully before October.  Not the regular annual budget process.[/quote]
