▶ 1:20:05 Speaker 5: um mr azzy thomas thank you i wanted to um just uh make sure that people who are um I'm curious about where the money goes for the entire year. This is a summary of the entire year, correct, Superintendent? So if anyone is curious as to where the money has gone, what was appropriated versus what was used, what was revised, etc. Your dates expended, and conferences.

▶ 1:20:35 Speaker 5: It's just a great breakdown as to where all the money went. And it also kind of shows the categories in which all the money is used and calculated and accounted for.

▶ 1:20:56 Speaker 5: And then it's important to know that all those mutis that we just approved go into all these little categories. So I just wanted people to know where it is for reference. and next year we'll have more money in those categories to use and so it it will be important for us to figure out other than the new hires what we're doing with that money and account for

▶ 1:21:23 Speaker 3: it along the way which i'm sure we'll do yes to uh and thank you for bringing this to everybody's attention miss rosie thomas uh just so that everybody uh is aware uh this also reflects a couple places where we had unexpected expenses we had two long-term absences of teachers who you know by contract have the their sick days available to them and they so basically you're paying a double salary and also as you know because we've discussed it here the increase in collaborative tuition also came with an increase in transportation and that's also reflected here and that That was an uptick for us and we probably had a little bit of an uptick in our homeless transportation as well. That seems to rise and fall over the course of the year. We ended last year with 32, we began this year with 23 and I'm not quite sure what we ended with. So sometimes that impacts our transportation line as well.

▶ 1:22:25 Speaker 5: you have to basically transport the fam the students even if they wind up somewhere else here right because the stabilizing factor in homeless child's life is school exactly home exactly so we the district that they were originally in if they're able to if they're within 30 minutes third no
