 Any adjustments to the agenda? I guess the only question I would pose is with some of the way the Act 127 is being pretty fluid. Would it be appropriate for us to discuss some updates before we go over the budget? Do you want to do that? I think it has, it's in this whole pre-trial stage. Even whatever is how. Okay, all right. Okay, so if we don't have any adjustments, just need a motion to approve. So move. Okay, it's moved. Second? Any further discussion on it? Okay, all in favor? Aye. Aye. Rodney, good. Yep, hang on. Aye. Okay. All right, we have a board comment. Is there anything that the board would like to bring up that's maybe not budget related? Okay, here and done. Close that. And we're on to the informational meeting with the budget. Just quick controls there. Sure, if you want. Just intro's of people that's here. Yeah, so we have, we have all, I didn't see Peggy jump on yet. We have all the board members in attendance, except for Peggy, so Andrew, Chris, Ed, Rodney, Nancy, and on the administration end of things, we have Jamie and Tara, Jeff here, and I don't know. Onda's not here. Onda's not here, nope, okay. So the presentation that we have, we're gonna go over, it's on the fiscal year 2024, 2025 budget. So what does the 2425 budget support? It supports the current staffing that we have in our buildings, an increase of 1.0 to provide middle and high school tech education, a 0.4 FT increase to the reading and math interventionist, and this will allow the ability to assign a 1.0 math interventionist to the middle school. We've added a 1.0 FTE social worker to provide wraparound support services for students and families. We've also added a 1.0 FTE student support coordinator for the elementary campus, and a 1.0 FTE administrative assistant to the guidance department. We have a one time purchase of classroom instructional materials, and then the annual contract for student transportation services provided by Tri Valley Transit, which allows students to access after school programming and provide additional opportunities for transportation for tuitioning students coming into Wright River Unified District. And one of the costs allocated to these changes in the budget, the new positions are $434,914. One time spending of $51,400. And then the overall budget increase on the line items for health insurance, salaries, increase in supplies, cost for utilities, all of those other lines in the budget was $927,264 for an overall increase of $1,413,578. So those of you that are following along in your books, if you have your annual meeting books with you, this is a summary of the tax sheet. So the budget overview and change from fiscal year 24 to fiscal year 25. Again, that increase is $1,413,578 or 10.9%. We have a reduction in local revenue of $9,151 or 0.7%. Act 68 education spending equals an increase of $1,422,729. And just a reminder of what that is, that's what we actually collect from the Education Fund. So new this year, what you're gonna get into in the following slides is our long-term weighted average. This used to be known as our equalized pupil. So for RUD and the new increase in 2024 versus where we are in 2025 gave us an increase in our long-term weighted average of 64.74. So we take the Act 68 education spending. We divide that by the long-term weighted average and that gives us our per pupil spending of $11,950.42, which is an increase of $629.74 over the current fiscal year. So just a little bit of a review for folks and you've been reading it in your papers quite a bit in regards to my pill year and changes that occurred back in 2022 to how we fund education and that Act was Act 127. And it was an Act committed to improving equity across Vermont schools by adjusting the school funding formula. And in White River Unified District, the new weights as compared to the old weights did provide for greater tax capacity. And we're gonna get into showing you how that played out because your equalized tax rate actually is gonna go down. What's contributing to your overall increase in taxes is a decrease in the common level of assessment. And so we're gonna walk you through all that here later in the presentation. But in general, the new weights accounted for things that they didn't in the past. One is that it provided greater weight now for middle school students as compared to previously acknowledging that students in middle and high school tend to cost more for us to educate. Two, it now provided additional weights for students who would have qualified for free and reduced lunch. And in White River Unified District, we are well over 60% in free and reduced lunch percentages now, K through 12. And so that increased our pupil count. Students that are served, that English is in their second language now count for about two and a half students as compared to prior. And there's also some weights that occurred in regards to population density across the state that school districts in rural communities also gained some additional tax capacity acknowledging that there are some things that challenges in more rural area communities in regards to the cost of education. And so in general, White River Unified District gained some pretty good tax capacity due to Act 127. The next slide talks about some other provisions that were provided via Act 127. That's what you've really been reading about. And so to limit the tax rate increases for districts losing tax capacity as a result of Act 127, they provided a five year provision in Act 127 that would result in if a district spent less than 10% in spending per pupil difference between FY24 and FY25, that their equalized tax rate would be capped at 5%. What the legislature realized fairly quickly in this new term is that due to that provision, what it was resulting in is that the ed fund was gonna have a shortfall because if a district is spending well over their 5% equalized tax rate cap, that money has to come from somewhere. And a reminder that it's a statewide ed fund. So if a district's only paying 5% of an equalized tax rate cap, but they may actually be spending on the upwards of 8%, that 3% difference is made up across the rest of the remaining districts that haven't hit the cap. And the way it's made up is an adjustment of the yield which we'll get into here in a minute. That is the real lever that the state has to generate more revenue into the ed fund. The more the yield drops, the more everyone else's tax rate that wasn't already at the 5% cap goes up, okay? And at White River Unified District, we're actually three cents under your equalized tax rate. So there was a lot of room there that they could have still dropped the yield and it would have contributed to increased taxes for you based on nothing being done here locally in your district. There is now a bill that's been introduced. It's called H850 and that bill is being reworked to remove the cap and to provide some other transitional incentives around tax decreases for districts that lost capacity. And it waits to be seen, but we anticipate that some version of H850 will pass and be signed into law here in the next couple of weeks. Get out of the Appropriations Committee. Yes, yeah, I went to the House floor yesterday. So I'm gonna hand it, as far as Act 127 too for those that are on, know that it's complicated. Please feel free to reach out to one of your board members and or central office and we're more than happy to walk folks through it. But in general, the thing to know is that under Act 127, there were definitely, we gain pupils. It's a good thing for White River Unified District. Your equalized tax rates actually down and we'll walk you through that here in a moment. So the slide that's on the screen now are actually the impact of Act 127 for White River Unified District. So the fiscal year long-term weighted average for 24 was that 1038 that I showed you on a couple of slides ago in comparison to what your equalized pupil was, which was 566.94. So that's that tax capacity that Jamie's referring to. And then your fiscal year 25 long-term weighted average again is that 1095.42 that we showed on the prior slide. So this is just a quick remembrance on how we actually get to your tax rate. So in the previous slides, I showed you what our expenditure budget was, subtracted out our local revenue and that gave us our Act 68 education spending. We divide that by the equalized pupil now the long-term weighted average and that gives us our per pupil spending. So once we get that per pupil spending, we then divide the per pupil spending by the yield and that gives us the district-wide equalized tax rate. Once we get the district-wide equalized tax rate that's then divided by the common level appraisal for each individual town and that gives you the projected tax rates that's going to be on your property tax bill. So what is the yield? The yield is the factor that's used to convert your per pupil spending in your equalized tax rate. It's adjusted depending on how much the state needs to collect via property taxes to fund the Ed fund as Jamie just mentioned. The projected yield we get initially is provided by the tax department and we get it on or around December 1st each fiscal year for the following fiscal year. In January, we were notified after some recalculations of the Ed fund that the yield projection was actually going to be lower than what was provided in the December 1st letter which is that 9,171 is the yield that's also used in your budget presentations throughout your annual mailer. In February, we since received an additional projected possible scenario of the yield. So last week actually we were provided one that had a slightly higher yield brought it up to $9,679 which will show what that means in the following slides. The final actual yield is set by the legislature as they get closer to the close of the session. So we don't normally know the final yield until May, sometimes early June. So this slide here shows the implications of the fluctuating yield. So again, different scenarios we have three different yields currently on the table with a fourth one potentially more still out there. So again, you take your per pupil spending divided by your yield and that gives us our equalized tax rate. So the current projected per pupil spending in your budget mailer is that 11,952 and that current yield at that time was 9,171 gives you an equalized tax rate of 1.3031 and then we show you what your fiscal year 24 equalized tax rate is. So we're going down that slide. The December 1st yield was 9,452 and that gave us an equalized tax rate of 1.2643 which is actually a reduction of 7.47 cents. The January revised yield was 9,171 again that's what's in your mailer gave us an equalized tax rate of 1.3031 a reduction of 3.08 cents and then using that potential yield that we received last week of that 9,679 would give Rudd a projected equalized tax rate of 1.2347 which is actually a reduction of 9.92 cents and then whatever the final yield may be. Just to chime in real quick you can see with how different those scenarios are but it was a challenge doing the budget season this year because we try and do what we can we keep taxes down we're not trying to keep them as level as possible while also providing the resources that school needs and it's difficult when you have these changing scenarios and so it's really when the challenging season can be it was very uncertain as to what kind of the results of what we were doing was going to be. So based on the February, the last February projection if the revision to Act 127 goes through what are we thinking that that change may be from the February projection? So they were counting on that change going through so that is if that goes through. And just to clarify for folks why would that go why does that change? They're expecting but districts to amend their budgets in decreased spending due to the cap being removed. And so if there's less spending and the fact that all local districts would actually be paying taxes up to the rate that they spend not capped there's not as much of a budget shortfall for the ed fund to have to make up. My sense is that it's gonna be somewhere between that nine, four, five, two number in the nine, six, seven, nine number. I'll go on the record of that and we'll see where it plays out by the name. I wouldn't bet on that. But my sense is it might be between there. Factor again. So once we get that equalized tax rate for the district we then go to the individual towns and we take that equalized tax rate and we divide it by the town's common level of appraisal and that gives us the projected tax rate on your property tax bill. So as you can see in both of our towns we've had substantial decreases in the common level of appraisal dating back to the fiscal year of 21. For this current fiscal year you are at 88.40% in Bethel and 85.44% in Royalton. The common level appraisal for fiscal year 25 dropped to 79.77 in Bethel and 79.44 in Royalton. So the two tax rates that are shown there are using both of the yields that we just looked at at the next slide. So potentially on the Bethel your tax rate could be between 1.6335 or 1.5478 and then in Royalton 1.6403 or 1.5442 and we go into further detail in some of the following slides. So this is just a different view of the decline in the common level of appraisal going back to the 1819 fiscal year. So this slide here is going over the summary and implications of the changes for both the January yield, that $9,171 that's in your budget mailers versus that $9,679 projected yield for February. So again, the change in the per pupil spending that we reviewed a couple slides back was $629.74. The equalized tax rate, depending on which yield we move forward with is a reduction of 3.08 cents for the January yield and 9.92 cents for the February yield, which gives you a final tax rate in Bethel, change of 12.46 cents using the January yield or 3.89 cents using the February yield. And in Royalton, the change in the final tax rate and using the January yield is 7.91 cents or a reduction of 0.07 cents for the February yield. So then down below, we've provided a potential dollar amount to each of those cents based on $100,000, $250,000 and a $500,000 home. Again, the yellow are the Bethel in Royalton using the January yield and the green is the Bethel in Royalton using the February yields. Yeah, so we've just tried to break down for folks like locally what's actually in the school district board's control versus what's provided and or dictated due to the statewide ed fund. And so you can see really the general budget for us in our local revenues. That's really what's in our control, okay? The other big factors though that contribute to the tax rate are the calculations made via the long-term weighted average daily membership that occurred via Act 127. The property dollar yield is a huge one and a reminder that that is not set by the legislature until May typically, okay? And then finally that common level of appraisal. So I hope as we've gone through this, one of the things I wanna really leave folks is is that Act 127, the yield, our local education spending in all those scenarios we've provided though is actually a decrease on the tax rate. What any increase that you're seeing in your taxes this year at this district are all contributed due to the significant drop in the common level of appraisal that we saw. And a reminder that the common level appraisal is really about what our home values are valued at, assessed at currently versus what the state is saying that they would actually be valued at on the market. And it's the adjustment that the state makes in order to make certain everyone's paying what they see as their fair share of taxes into the ed fund. It's also on a three year average. So the challenges we have is, so right now the averages are being used over at 21, 22, 23. Most of the movement in the real estate market happened majorly in 22 and 23. 21 was actually a stable year. So the challenge we have not just this year but we're gonna have it again next year is that we're gonna lose our one stable year next year. So 21's going away, so we have 22 and 23 which are unstable and then what brings the market this year. So there's likely gonna be more adjustment downward unfortunately, not to be the bearer of the bad news but just being realist of the common level appraisal. And the only way that's gonna get back to zero is well, Bethel's already in the process of doing reassessment. So probably many of you have been contacted already by the person that come out this year and reassess your property. So kind of resets the local market. And then Royalton isn't currently in the process of that. Now because typically you have triggers so if it goes over 110% or if it dips below 85% it's usually a trigger to reappraise. But it happens so fast in a year and a half process and these reappraisal processes take years. They're not, it's not a next year we'll do it. So like for instance for Bethel we started the reappraisal process two years ago moving forward, lining somebody up to come and do it. They have a long list of lots of people. So, and we're just starting ours this year which will go this year and next year. So Bethel will still be in the reappraisal process into next year so we won't be able to use any reset. So you're gonna be waiting until 2025 to be able to get that. Now Royalton has changed so drastically and they hadn't started the process that they're probably gonna be starting the process which means you're a couple of years out on that. And then the, I don't know what the act was but the mob failure had set foot stricter parameters for reappraisal triggering that will happen every six to seven years now rather than be a benchmark. So those are some of the things that's coming down. But like Jamie said, if you take what we can control the budget, the budget really was gonna be a seven cent savings. We actually talked at the board about taking five of those cents and put them away for a rainy day or you're using them towards infrastructure and still giving a savings of two. And then the common level appraisal just kind of blew up. So now we're left scrambling. Now, regardless of what happens here, I mean if we get stuck with the higher amount, we still have to put it in perspective that our district is in a way better position than most of the other districts. I mean, in Bethelow, if it did go up 12 cents, there's districts that are talking 20 and 30 and I even heard a 40 cent district. So there was lots of movement on that. So the rest of the slides are going over the other articles on our annual warning just to kind of give a heads up what they each mean. Article one is to elect a moderator. Article two is to elect the school district clerk. Article three is to elect the school district treasurer. Article four is to hear and act upon the school district officer's reports which will be a presentation much more detailed than this one. Article five is to set your school district officer's salary. And then article six is to set your school district treasurer's salary. And then article seven is our tax anticipation note article which allows the district to borrow money in anticipation of revenue coming in from taxes and from the three payments that we get each year from the Ed fund. Article eight is our actual budget article. So that's the articles currently reading shall the voters of the school district approve the school board to expend 14,382,093 dollars which is the amount the school board has determined to be necessary for the ensuing fiscal year. It is estimated that this proposed budget if approved will result in education spending of 11,950 dollars and 42 cents per equalized pupil. Article nine is our article to the voters asking them to allow us to transfer the 900,000 dollars projected from our fiscal year 23 surplus of 997,660 dollars to the White River Unified District Capital Improvement and Maintenance of Facilities Fund and that's what we've done with our surplus for the last couple of years to get that set aside for our future capital improvements which are highlighted in another couple slides. So this gives us a current projection of the capital projects reserve fund. So at the close of fiscal year 23 that balance was 1,441,810 dollars. Board approved us to utilize 181,262 dollars and 50 cents for the EEI projects that had happened this last year at both campuses. In the fiscal year 25 budget, if that budget is approved there is a $40,000 transfer built into that budget and then if article nine is approved that gives us that extra 900,000. So the proposed fund balance at the beginning of fiscal year 25 would be 2,200,547 dollars and 50 cents. And then this slide here is some of the work that is in the pipeline for White River Unified District. Chris, do you wanna go over that side? Do you want me to? I can go over that. I think the other thing that might be pertinent to talk about is kind of how have we come up with this balance left over and because I think the common information that I'm getting from people is, well they're saying back in their budgets and they got now 800,000, $900,000 that they could have taken out of the budget and made the tax rate less. So the biggest things that the movers of the reason why a majority of that money is available to us is, well two things. We've had a lot of COVID money that's been injected into the state and there's opportunities to use that COVID money. Some people decided to add amenities, build on things that they have that would be sustainable, like hiring on, going different ways where you're gonna have it in your budget for many years. We have taken more of an approach of, let's do one-time things, not things that we're gonna have to pay on over and over and over and we've been using that money to, we have been using that money to fund places that we typically would fund, but we've been using that money and instead of us funding that mechanism we've been taking that money and saving it. So now, for anybody that's followed the school board in the last half a dozen years is we didn't have any money years ago. So we were always in negative draw going back to the voters and saying, I'm sorry, but we're gonna need another $400,000 this year and Lisa's here so she knows all about that. We've had to do that and it was really rough back then. Now we have very responsible budgets and we've acted on those budgets responsibly and we have not taken this one-time care of money from the feds and went and just went on a spending spree with this thing that's gonna pay for, we'll be paying for years. So we've decided to reasonably, let's save this money and let's put money into our schools that we all know needs work. So we have started that as you saw some of the work that we did do this year and again, we're being careful with their money. We're not just going to say, we got $2 million, let's see what we can buy. We're seeing how can we leverage that money? A lot of the infrastructure work we did this year, there was grants, there was education money linked to that. A lot of it is like net zero. So anything that we put into something where you can get back over a short period of time. So we just did, what was the total amount of the projects? 1.6 and change. 1.6 of which we contributed 181,000. So those are good match dollars. And we have a list of, as anybody that's been in the schools, there's quite the list, but we're working on it. We can't write the ship in one day, but we can build on. One thing, somebody had talked to me like, oh, you guys are gonna have $2 million in the bank. And I said, well, put it in this perspective. Woodstock right now is thinking about putting a $99 million new school. So $2 million versus $99 million is not really a lot of money. I mean, if you think about everything that you need to do. So some of the things that we are looking on that we will looking for is we're gonna be putting forward a bond vote in November. So we're pretty excited that we're looking at upgrading. Well, we have established as a board that we need the three A's to make our schools successful. We have a lot of traction in our schools right now. The numbers are up, kids are wanna come, tuition is up, and we wanna keep it there and grow it. So what we've been doing is working on the three A's. Now everybody kind of assumes that academics is like a given, right? So we've been working on kind of the eye candy. So Jeff has been working night and day on sports. We're swag, you know, wildcats everywhere right now. People are excited, they wanna be a part of that. And the next piece that we're working on right now is the performing arts piece of it. And in order to actually have performing arts is we need a center to do the work. Kind of if you build, they will come. So we're looking at putting a performing arts center on to the wing of the high school. We've also identified that there are some entrance ways at both campuses that are both not secure and not energy efficient. So they should have dual entry, not single entries. The high school only has really one entry, which is front. So we're looking at putting a dual entry in the back, which would be convenient for the kids. And over at the middle school here, we have the main entrance, which is only a single. I mean, you can literally see the air flow through the doors if you're there tonight. And do a little bit of stuff around the elementary school. And then we have also identified to do some ventilation in the library. I don't think, are we still doing the cafeteria one? Or are we just kind of, I think we're just gonna push the library one at this point. And then we have other things that we want to continue to build upon. And that's why we're saving money for later dates. And like you said, we're trying to leverage that money. Now, some cool things we have already for the bond vote is we're not gonna be going to the voters asking for the total amount of the bond. We have gotten some substantial amount of people that have donated money, and we'll have some match money. So we're looking at not just asking the taxpayers for everything, that we have some really significant donors that wanna see this happen. And we plan on leveraging some of this money towards that project. And then save some of this money for our future. All the windows need to replace at some point. We gotta do boiler replacement over in South Railton. And then there's just all the other things that we wanna do. There's parking lot paving and different things like that. So I think short term cited, taking the $900,000 and buying down the tax rate works for people. But if you really want to continue to invest in the school, we have to be a long-term thinker. We have to save this money. This money, we're not gonna be seeing many more budgets going forward where we say, hey, we got another $900,000. That money is drying up. And that's some of the reasons why schools are in trouble right now across the state of Vermont with that 127. Some of it is the revenue sharing piece of it. But some of it is that they grew their budgets. I mean, their budgets are grown. Now they gotta make the big boy decision and should we start cutting it now? So then Article 12 is actually your Australian ballot article. So that is your election of members for the School Board of Directors. There are four two seats. I don't know why I got four there. I gotta fix that. There are two seats open. There's a Royalton one director for three years, which Peggy Ainsworth is on the ballot for. And then Bethel director, which there wasn't any petitions submitted. So for that, you're gonna vote by Australian ballot and that's gonna be on Tuesday, March 5th, beginning at eight and ending at seven. And that's handled at both campuses, depending on which town you reside in. And that will be at the Bethel small gym and then the Royalton gym. And then you can also request absentee ballots from your individual town clerks. Royalton small gym. Sorry, Royalton small gym. I always twist it. Our gym is small. I always twist those two around. Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, and just a reminder folks, that the vote on all the other articles other than that Australian ballot article is the night before here in Bethel. We are providing dinner prior to the vote at five and child care will be provided to that evening at six for the annual meeting on that Monday night. Any questions at the board level in regards to the budget? We can probably handle any type of public questions under the public comment period. So if everybody's good with the agenda item number four we'll get five, which is public comment. So we'll open it up to public comment. I can't really see how many people are on, but typically depending on how many people want to participate, we'll try to keep it in the three to five minutes per person. If there's not as many people, we can expand a little bit. Someone raised their hand. Was that in the book? I do not believe it's been added into the online platform, but the presentation itself is not. Kathleen, yeah, that particular slide, I'm not certain whether that was in your mail or not, but it is on our website and it'll be in our presentations as we move forward. Yes, it is, it's page 22 of your mail. That is not color. It's not color, it's not color. If you want the color version, it's right on the website at WRVSU and it's under Act 127, it's a tab. Anybody else? It's usually easiest just to throw your hand up. And for some reason, if you're like me and can't find the hand button, then you can unmute yourself and just say your name if you unmute. Tammy? Hi, can I hear me okay? You're getting echoed, but yes. Is that any better? Thanks, though. Okay, the $900,000 you mentioned, where is that on this slide? On what slide? On the slides that we're talking about, that was number, well, it was talked about as article number nine, which I don't know what page it is. Which also, there was a slide that says Capital Projects Reserve Fund, so 19 and 20. So the Capital Projects Reserve Fund kind of shows the money to date that has been in or out, as well as the 900,000 that under article nine that we're looking at adding to the Capital Reserve Fund. So like I was trying to discuss, the idea behind that is we're looking at, we have definitely a bunch of infrastructure projects that we are currently looking to do and there was a short sheet that said Future Facility Work. I don't know what page that was towards the end. So those are projects that we're looking to do and what we would do is we'd put this money aside in our Capital Fund project and then when we have the opportunity to best leverage those funds towards, we're looking for grants, we're looking for matching money that might come from the Department of Education or outside funds or in the case of the Performing Arts Lab, we have people that are looking at donating funds towards that project. So however we can best leverage funds for projects. So I guess instead of going out and paying 100% for a project for us to do, so I'm just gonna make it up. Let's say we could replace all the windows in the Bethel campus for a million dollars. Instead of us going out there and just spending a million dollars on the windows out of our Capital Reserve Fund for Bethel, we have our feelers out there to see are there grants out there for window replacement? Every once in a while, Jamie in the Educational Department has money, as there are things that potentially can be used for some projects. Rather than spend 100% of our local money, we look to leverage that. So can we find somebody that is gonna pay 50% of that? So then we only have to pay 50% of it? Nope. And Tammy, we are rolling out Capital Deferred Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance Plans here in the next month that will capture all that. But easily that one slide, like for an example, we've been quoted that just replacing the windows in Royalton is a million dollars. But we will be rolling out prior to town meeting, there'll be drafted plans around our deferred maintenance needs and dollar figures associated with those. So the good news is, when we ask you to vote on that 900,000, you'll have those plans that the board will be able to share as well. And one good example, Tammy, that we have used this year, we talked about leveraging funds, I guess would be the word, is the 1.6 million dollars with the work that we did at the Bethel campus and the Royalton campus, we ended up contributing 181,000 towards that. So rather than us paying the full 1.6 million, we've paid 181,000 towards that 1.6 million. And the remainder of that money came through grants, matching money, some education money, performance control. Yeah, so just to chime in real quick. Sorry, Tammy. So just to clarify a little bit, the $900,000 is surplus from last year's budget. So the voters had approved, I don't remember the exact number, but you know, somewhere around a net $12 million. So like $13 million is spending with $1 million of revenue somewhere around there. And in the end, we had more revenue than we were expecting and lower expenses than we were expecting. So we had $900,000 leftover. By law, we either have to put that money aside and save it for later, or use it to lower the tax rate this year. We are suggesting that rather than using it to lower the tax rate this year, we put it aside because we know we have these large capital expenses coming up. And when we say the Capital Improvement Fund, that's just a renamed Building Reserve Fund. It always used to be called the Building Reserve Fund. When we combined the Bethel and the Royalton Building Reserve Funds, we made it a Capital Improvement Fund because it's a little more flexible with what we can use it for. You would think I'd be familiar with the word you all are using. So deferred maintenance and capital maintenance. Do those show up on that slide of summary things? Well, so these are projects that we know that we have, but we haven't gone out and gotten bids on them or anything yet. We're in the process of doing that. So- Let me rephrase, driving the slides, can you go back to that summary slide sheet? I think it's the next slide, yeah. Slide 21. This future facilities work, is this the deferred maintenance and the capital maintenance that was mentioned? It's part of it. There's more to it than that, but it's part of it. And those are some of the priorities in the next upcoming years. Yeah, this is kind of the most pressing things that we're expecting to do in the immediate future. There's gonna also be other things that come up going forward. Okay. Somebody else had their hand raised. Well, I think that was Andrew. Is there anybody else that has a public comment? Okay, here and none. We'll move on from public comment. Is there anything else to be taken up with the board this evening? Not until our regular meeting. Not until the early of the meeting. All right. Do we need to adjourn that meeting? Yeah, we'll adjourn this one. And then start the meeting. Okay, so we'll just need a motion to adjourn the informational meeting for the budget to join the regular school board meeting. Second. Okay, move by Peggy and second by Nancy. They were fighting for it. All right. All in favor? Okay, aye. Round the aye. Okay. All right, thank you all. Thank you.
