Uh we're in pretty good shape. Uh what you will notice is that on the kind of other taxes, license excise, commercial vehicle tax, and the fit the financial institutions tax. Uh we are receiving less than what was predicted. Those numbers come to us straight from the DLGF.
005So, uh, they unless we catch up in the second half, which I don't think we will, those numbers will come in a little under what they had projected issues just I think they they they take like an average from the last few years and I don't think they put a whole lot of I don't want to say effort, but they uh, you know, do specific school district calculations. I just think that broad broad perspective and add a percentage to it. And so ours was a little a little high. Any questions from board members? Moving on to future business.

006to note is our first our first staff day back and back to school meeting is August 5th and our first day for kids to come back is August 6th. Um, there was some confusion on a calendar posted and we've corrected that. So, just that everyone knows it's August 6th. Um, we will review the budget in an upcoming meeting and that's all we have for today. We are a journey.
