From the transcript
$6.8 Million to 50 FTE. The S version still would approve and authorize the superintendent, superintendent to appropriate $6.8 million of the $7 million remaining in fund balance, in unreserved fund balance, to reinstate up to 45 school-based FTE and restore levels of service for secondary student athletes for the 26-27 school year. However, the second part of this recommendation is that should the district receive additional one-time funding from HB 263, um, the superintendent-designee would fully restore the district's unreserved fund balance back up to the 5% level, or to no less than that 5% level. So this is a temporary use of fund balance, but I think also your specific question is, uh, what are the numbers? And so specifically, the numbers for the record are Uh, $6,120,000 to reinstate those 45 FTE and $680,000.
