From the transcript
So as part of the board memo tonight, we're asking for a transfer for FY27 that covers the deficit that was experienced in that fund at the end of the year. And so we wanted to go back and provide some information about what happened in FY26 because I don't believe that there's been a large transfer request for student nutrition in recent years. And so we wanted to make sure to provide some information about FY26 specifically to inform the board and the public. And so here you'll see one of the things that we did is we did a snapshot for FY26 as compared to an average of the last 10 years of expenses, um, to just take a look at if what we're spending our money on in that fund, uh, kind of is comparative to the average. And you can see here that the vast majority, as we mentioned, of expenditures in this fund is going to serve kids.
