From the transcript
And this policy makes it clear that the science is that they're inadequately funding our district. If we do not have the, the Pikus Oden numbers, which can be amended by a future governance committee and then a future board, if the science changes. Um, but if we don't have them in here, it makes our ability to raise a lawsuit a lot more unclear and a lot more, um, like we've already surrendered that we think the maximum adequate preschool class is 23 students. So I appreciate having this in two tiers so that we still get to have control over our own opinion and scientifically correct. So that's all.
