From the transcript
Are there ways that we can absorb any additional funding past the local contribution cap if we manage to hit that cap and incorporate those funds into an item that doesn't fall under that cap? Yes, absolutely. So funds are available to, to go toward capital projects, obviously, as well as other funds such currently with the current law and interpretation, such as student nutrition, transportation, as you mentioned, potentially student activities, and those items that are truly outside of the operating fund. Thank you. And I agree that we're using the current law and current interpretation, and with all the other uncertainty regarding public education, I don't know that I can incorporate potential future modifications to that understanding.
