From the transcript
Thank you, Mr. President. So our CFO Andy Ratliff and team will brief the board on the budget revision proposal that's before the tonight as an action item. The budget revision reflects approximately $11.6 million in new revenue that was recently approved by the legislature. Essentially, the top priority continues to be educator positions, so the proposal adds more than 50 classroom teachers that would be used to address large class size bubbles and provide scheduling relief across all levels. What we'll do is we'll walk the board through the full proposal, and we'll do so again at the regular meeting for the benefit of the general public.
