From the transcript
Uh, it's going to be, um, uh, make it worse. We're putting in an impossible situation by the legislation and the governor to wait until after school starts before you know how much money. I am concerned that the reserves that we have are not adequate in case something comes up. There are 100 ways this could come out, but just in the school closures, we know that, um, uh, Fire Lake is going to have more kids and you lose $10,500 per kid that goes there. There were 100 kids on the waiting list.
