From the transcript
Will not have that determination until after the school year has begun. So in my mind, the conversation that we'll have this afternoon and later this evening are around a couple things. One is on risk tolerance, because as fiduciaries of the district, the board has responsibility to make sure that we take action that doesn't exacerbate risk to the district. So given all the context that, that I've laid out there, there certainly is a possibility that the, the state might be short on its revenue projections. There is a very real possibility that districts will not get the full funding that was outlined in the law.
