And I say that that's great cuz you're just dancing at that 50% line. You haven't done a ton of educating. And you also see over in that not sure need more information that you're sitting at 25% 25% of general citizens and 23% of parents going, 'Hmm, I'm not sure what we should do.'

Um The amount that is supported now is without community education about where we're at. And if you look at the number in the neighboring school districts per student levy is it's substantially below the majority of those numbers. What we'd be asking for and what I'm hoping is that if we have the right messaging or the right stamina behind it, the difference between the two at most is like $10 a month and that would maintain what we have and there wouldn't have to be future cuts. And I feel like that's so minimal that maybe if more people understood that it wouldn't cost that much more to just maintain where we're at, that would get more than Uh I think you said there was like 8% that we could sway into support. Is that being like overly hopeful as a parent and as a board member?

I know I know it's I know it's unpopular but it's like the data just doesn't I like I'm a broken record if you've ever heard me speak before but just the data doesn't lie. You're just not going to pull enough people with that option three.

I know that some districts that have done the dual um and the additional 400 and then the additional 100, you'd be shocked how many people skip over the question asking for the 400 and they skip right to the 100 and check yes for that. It doesn't help you because they did vote for the first one. So, it it does get complicated. I'm not wrong, am I, Sue? That You see actual voting error and they don't mean to.

So, basically just going through that first page in the budget document itself, I'm just looking at our projected enrollment. Again, as in the past number of years, the incoming kindergarten class is much smaller than the outgoing third grade class. So, we're projecting that our enrollment will be down probably about 35 to 40 kids heading into next year. As we continue to look long term over the next 5 years, we're projecting that trend to continue. People are just aren't having as many kids as they used to.

I'm guessing that maybe within the next couple of years you're going to be looking at probably about a $200,000 deficit. And I think that will just continue to kind of start snowballing as time goes on. So, I'm guessing that probably could potentially be in the $700,000 range.

So, for the lots versus market value, um, we were able to get they were able to negotiate at 365 grand per lot. And So, what's the usual That's a I I'm just not in the market. Uh, just just in a as a pers- perspective, the last lot I bought was at 70. All All the lots that we've recently built on behind my house, they were all listed This is from 4 years ago. They all started around 60 to 70,000. The ones that we purchased were 80.

Right, and I know Buck can interject here, too. Don't be afraid to do that. Um, you know, we were really looking at a lot of different options because we weren't sure where we're going to go with this program and it always makes you a little nervous if you don't have that backup plan. Um, obviously when lots vacant are right next up to, you know, your property line, you certainly want to look at those. So, we haven't investigated that. It's not off the table for down the road. Who knows, right? Um, but we are going to always try to keep this program going.
