So for the ELA curriculum options, The recommendation we put before the board funds the entire $2.8 million purchase in FY27. I'm working with the vendor. The other payment options we have are to put $625,000 to it for the current year, which will fund the, some materials, the pilot, the pilot program and some professional development surrounding that, and then pay the balance in FY28 and FY29. We do have to make sure those go into the budget for those years if we're going to go with those other payment options, if there's an amendment or something to this memo to use that money in the current year.
