A few of them on my mind would be the question of whether or not ASD will pursue a bond proposition this upcoming year. At this current time, I would like to make the case to do so, but I know that we're not going to be successful unless we do things differently. So that's one of the— one of several reasons why I think it's very important to approach community engagement differently. The second reason for this is that the board has to navigate a $40+ million shortfall by February as we prepare to submit a balanced budget to the assembly. That's on top of the $90 million that we just reduced from our budget.
