001Good evening. I call this Medina Valley ISD special board meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. on February 11th, 2026. We have a quorum of board members present. Everyone is here. Uh we'll begin with a m pledge of allegiance followed by a moment of silence. First on the agenda is public comment. We have no one signed up to speak. So we'll move on to discussion and action items. First on the list is consider approval of resolution regarding the weather related school closure on January 26, 2026. Good evening, Mr. President, board members, Dr. Kaos. Uh we bring this resolution to you for the bad weather day on January 26th. Uh we're asking that our employees be paid their wages for that day since it was uh it wasn't due to their own illness that kept them from
002coming to work. Uh we have done this in the past. Uh we did have people that did come in to make sure our facilities were okay and that time would be considered as overtime and paying them if you grant this resolution. Any questions? Now I'll look for a motion. >> I Jason Bonnie move to approve the resolution regarding the weather related school closure on January 26, 2026 as presented. >> I have a motion to have a second. >> I Ben Wat second a motion. >> Have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Not all those in favor? Raise your hand. All board members voted for and the motion carries. The time is 6:07 p.m. and the board of trustees will now convene in close session as authorized by section 551074 of the Texas Open
003Meetings Act to to discuss agenda item 4 A. No action will be taken in close session. And the board is now in close session. The board is reconvening into open session at 6:27 p.m. For the record, no action was taken in close session. Next on the agenda is the budget workshop, and we'll move down to that. All right. So, we're going to move into the budget workshop part of the the meeting. So, with with this um with the budget workshop for February, it's still a little bit early into the budget cycle obviously to talk about a whole lot of things. Um, but we want to give you a current year update of where we are right now. Um, we received our state property certified values and so we want to report that back out to
004you. Um, and we want to and then we want to talk through kind of some very highlevel projections of where we think we'll be revenue um, and expense-wise with increases going into next year. And then obviously we want y'all's input and we're going to work through kind of a budget activity um so that we can kind of get some ideas on what our assumptions are going into next year. So you've seen a copy of the budget calendar. We're at the at the top there with with the February 11th date and we're just kind of looking at high level what our what our goals are and where we're at going into next year's budget cycle. So for 2526 just kind of as a quick reminder um drivers of M funding. So we've we've been talking about
005this a lot in district but as you all remember most of our revenue comes from students. So it's we look at enrollment numbers. We look at our attendance percentage and then we look at the programs that the kids are enrolled in whether that's CTE programs, it's special education programs, bilingual that all add to kind of our weighted average daily attendance. Um in order to and that basically sets our baseline of what's called our tier one funding or our student aotment funding. And then the second piece is our tier 2 funding um or some people call it enrichment funding or pennies. And this is the part where the district has kind of the option of where we set our tax rate. You can go up to 17 cents of enrichment pennies um that are levied within
006the district. We currently have five and anything above and beyond that would have to be a a vader or a voter approved tax ratification election and those have to happen in November. So that is really the only on the taxing side and the property value side. That's kind of the only area where it really comes into play. The other piece with the property values on the M side, which is what we're mostly going to talk about today, it really is only impacted by who is paying for that student aotment or that tier one piece is how many how much how many taxes we collect lowers what the state will provide us. um and then the state will make up the difference um so that we get that same level funding as every other district um
007in the state. So, we're going to go through just kind of where we are with our budget assumptions to then where where we were at at as of the end of January. And so, we budgeted enrollment of 10,617 students. Um as of January 31st, we were at 10,533. So we're just a little bit short of of the enrollment number that we had projected. But when it comes to attendance, we used our 92% attendance rate. And it and that would have given us 9511 students. And because attendance has been good, our ADA is sitting at 9712. So we've gained almost two student 200 students in in attendance. Um, from that piece, um, the next piece really that impacts all the funding is is those additional student weights and that's your weighted average daily attendance. And so
008we budgeted at 14294 and we're sitting at 14424. So still a gain, but not as much as the attendance gain that we had. And some of that is just related to different students and which programs they're involved in. um and some reached the growth targets we had budgeted and some didn't. So that that piece is the act kind of a little bit more where the funding is coming from and so still still positive. So everything moving in the right direction. Um the next piece just to report are just local property values. So when we do our property what we think we're going to gain in local property taxes coming in, we still even after certified put a good dollar amount in there for protest and we came back just a little bit to the good
009on that. So the protests that came back um with the levy were a little bit better than than where we had anticipated with protest. And so we're sitting a positive 8 million um better to the good. So, so also moving in the right direction. And then on the comproller or the state values, we actually want to have those come in lower. That affects our local fund assignment and how much they think that we're collecting. And so, um, based on some property value um, legal pieces where we have our attorneys review the property values, um, they came in a little lower from last year. And so that's providing us a little bit of cushion. We did receive our property values for this January. And so where we budgeted to actual were about 31 million to the
010goods. So again, sometimes we see an adjustment there that can be negative if the state's not recognizing all of the property or that we're at a differential with our local CADs. Um but we didn't see that this time. And then our tax rate was what we adopted in September. So, all of those pretty good indicators um that our budget's on track um with what we budgeted. Just kind of a quick graphic of what has happened with attendance since the beginning of the year. So, obviously in August we're we're on a little bit on the lower side from first day of school through. But then you can see that we've gained at least some kids every month um and and had a pretty good gain um in January. So, move again. We're getting closer to the
011the 10617 but just are a little shy of that. And for attendance again we started out first semester or first six weeks um really high at 95 and a half. Um second six weeks still really high 95.2 and then at seme at the third six weeks we were 94.5. That's averaging out to about 95.04 right now um at semester. So, so again looking really strong compared to the budgeted at 92. And then just a little bit on on taxes. I like to remind everybody the taxes are just kind of a a continuing timeline all year long that we have to look at with property values. And so we're at kind of the February piece. So if you remember, we started back getting these this year's preliminary values back in April. We move through certified in
012July. Um the property value study goes kind of through the state at that point. Right before Christmas, we get a pre-preliminary to kind of review to make sure what we received locally looks like what got reported from the CADs back to the state. And then in February, we got the the preliminary um property value study results. And so and then now we start that protest period and then they'll become final in August and we will and and it'll actually hit TEA to adjust our our funding in September after we finish the year. So it it's it's kind of a whole year-long process. Um but we'll talk just a little about those preliminary results. So this year neither Medina or Bear County were part of the property value study that the state went out and assessed.
013So, we basically received what what our local CADs turned in. Um, and so that's been that. So, no issues with whether we're compliant in that 95% compliance range, like everything was accepted as is. Um, I'd like to share each time kind of where those homestead exemptions are. So, I think when I presented this slide two years ago, there were only like two lines on here. And now we are we're hitting the five or six lines because we keep having additional years of homestead exemptions whether for compression or the frozen levy loss for the over 65. And so, so that that piece has just kind of continued. Um I didn't didn't add a slide about this but we were on we're getting some preliminary results that the way the comproller is calculating that frozen levy loss
014it's starting to shrink a little bit and so this is something I think what everyone's kind of trying to figure out how that's going to impact them moving into future years but if you think about it is your your folks are now being if you are over 65 or disabled you're Now you're frozen at this lower value. Well, if that's creating zero property value, they're not considering the frozen part on the levy anymore. So, they're not calculating that loss that they used to. If it's zero to start with after the homestead exemptions, there's nothing nothing left on the frozen. So, I think that frozen levy loss and some of the revenue we've been receiving from that could could be declining over the next several years. So, it's just another element. um in there the in
015general they don't like these hold harmlesses. They would love it if they phased out and went away and they didn't have to worry about them, but that does cost the district um some money. So that is something that we're kind of watching to see how that plays out. >> The exemption is much higher than >> it it it is. I don't know that it's not as big as the the disabled and the the over 65 exemptions are being and the ex additional homestead exemption piece of it has been much more impactful to us than than the business side of it. But I can pull some some numbers to see what that looks like. >> Yeah. And there's not really usually on the M side we don't worry as much about the hold harmlesses because it
016calculates in the formula but in this case there is an M hold home harmless for that frozen levy loss and so that's the one we're kind of watching here the all of them play into the INS side though. Um so they're all all important for that reason. Um, so really when we're taking everything into consideration, we're looking at a gain in revenue because of ADA being strong or our attendance being strong. The per capita rate that we get. There's kind of two pots of of funds and there's there's a per capita piece um that increased a little bit from budget to actual and is providing a little bit of of a bump. And then the state values being a little bit lower than what we budgeted is also helping. And so looking at where we
017thought this might be a little bit of a larger number, but because of the water piece um and the weights, it's not as high as we had anticipated originally, but we're still at a little over 1.2 million in increased revenue. We did do the retention payment um and then we had a few rolled POS and so right now I think where our budget is um is still pretty break even and if you recall we have a good amount of money in that capital projects piece um and so we that's giving us a little wiggle room as we go into the rest of the year. Do you all have any questions kind of on where we are with current year? Okay. So then kind of looking at 2627, these were the same assumptions that we just
018talked about. Um I'm going to pull up kind of demographer report here and just to give you a little bit of a snapshot. Um some of the numbers that we're running for the activity are using basically these assumptions. um 11,200ish kids um next year, 92% attendance rate um giving us a little over 10,000 in ADA. Um still that collection rate at 98% the 5% property value growth conservatively and then current current law. And so we're going to come back and kind of circle back on these assumptions after we play play the activity or or work through the activity. So when we looked at the demographer report last fall, we showed for next year in 2627 about 11,581 kids. So as you just saw, I had 112 listed in there. This is kind of what was
019projected last year. Um so then fall of 25 um the demographer came back and really reduced that down to 11,02 kids. Um so again still not quite matching what I had up there a second ago but a lot of this is is due to some of the changes. So we do have some local districts and even statewide that are going to offer virtual school next year which may impact some of our our high school kid type numbers. um there and then obviously we have the voucher programs going in next year that may also impact some of our enrollment numbers. So where where the right number is is a little bit hard to project and so that's one of the assumptions that we want to look at um tonight and you'll be able to see in
020the activity how that changes kind of what our revenue and budget looks like for next year where what a little bit on just enrollment history. So again, I guess 10533 in January, but at snapshot we were at 10479. So these are all comparing snapshot um pieces and then kind of where we're projected going out for the next couple of years. Um in general, one student with weighted um weighted attendance is around $9,800. And so it does does make a difference. If we use 723 students, we're looking at about $7 million in additional revenue um going into next year. If you remember before we were looking at 900 to a,000 students a year and so we were getting about a $10 million increase in revenue. So so it is kind of creating some challenges with that
021lower enrollment number. again. Um, attendance we This is kind of a good graphic of where attendance has gone over the last several years. Obviously, pre- pandemic, the district had um really great attendance. Anything I think over 94 95% is considered pretty good statewide, and most years we were hitting 95 and a half to 96. um after the pandemic and when they required everyone to be back um 2022 it it dipped and we have been kind of making gains um since then and this year being being really well. Um I would anticipate that in the spring the attendance will drop a little bit. Um that tends to happen. We have great attendance in the fall when everyone's involved in activities and going and then in the spring it gets a little bit a little bit harder.
022Um and so we do but this is kind of where we were at snapshot we were at 95.4 now we're at about 95.0 at semester. So and then obviously you all know the challenges of of the district in general as a fast growth district. It is um competing things and a lot of what we may talk about is is staffing versus compet versus compensation versus providing um buses versus doing you know versus also portables and all of those things. And so these are all kind of the things that that you all know. Um we're going to work through some of the expense pieces that we're looking at for kind of each of those areas. So the first one is just staffing. So I went back to the demographer report and I pulled out the high
023schools because we're staffing them a little different next year with Creek View opening and splitting. Some teachers are going, some teachers are staying. So we'll look at that piece a little separately. But for elementary and middle school, that left 534 new students um to the district. And if we separate out um special education and general ed um and we provide them a little different ratio and I know that is really tiny from where y'all are sitting now but special ed we just kind of make an overall assumption of a 5:1 ratio and that includes all the teachers support staff that would go with that gen ed 80% of the students being general ed and at a 25 to1 ratio it kind of drops down into three additional 13 additional teachers on the sped side, maybe
02419 on the general ed side. And this is very high level just to get an idea, but we have met with staff at the beginning of February to give the campuses their allocations and it worked out very close to this. I think we were at 31 teachers um overall. So, this is a pretty strong estimate of what what we would need at each of each of the elementary and middle schools going into next year. um compensation as we grow and as um the teacher pay raises went into effect and all of those things. Um it is about $800,000 to do a 1% raise across the board. So that's that would be all staff not separating anything. And then some of the capital projects and I know we've had long lists in the past and our
025list has gotten shorter so that's kind of nice. Um, but we also know the budget's going to be tight next year. So, we really did just kind of want to talk about um two things. And you all know kind of about the portables. So, odds are next year both Petranco and Lera may need portables to make it another year before elementary 7 opens. And so, even if we are able to move portables from the high school, it it we did spend about $300,000 in the move and setting up those portables. um la this current or this last year. If we have to purchase portables, then that cost can potentially go up. So, just something when we're when we're planning out budget that we're looking at. The other piece is bus replacements and kind of the
026cycle for that. And so, I have a range in here because you you have options with limited budget. Um and so just kind of I have a slide and I know Mr. Ramirez is here. if you have any other questions about this, but we had talked to you all about the seat belt law and had brought some information. So, this is an updated Thank you. This is an updated slide with just kind of where we're thinking bus replacements might look like. So, it is basing that first or the second column on enrollment is about 700 students a year. the following currently about 56% of our students ride or use transportation services. So if we take our enrollment number times 56% it kind of gets the number of students that need transportation and then we are
027assuming a bus capacity of 70 students a bus which then gets to the number of buses that we would need just for the basic regular routing purposes. Um that number we currently have 85 and as we go through it would mean next year for growth we would be looking at needing six additional and then it would be five additional and six kind of additional going through. So between five and six buses a year. The monkey wrench to that is the seat belt mandate. And we h currently have 42 buses that don't meet that requirement. And by September of 29, we're supposed to meet that requirement. So as we work through this um that if we split those 42 out amongst the next four years, you're adding another 10 buses a year to meet that mandate.
028And so that kind of gets you to your totals out on the side. Um, this is like we have not deep dived into who might be in the two-m radius with each school opening or deep dived into on the opposite side. Are are some are we going to need additional to support activities if we have both Creek View and Medina Valley traveling on the same day to an away football game? Are we going to have enough to support all of that? And so, so we're still working through some of those pieces, but this is just kind of a highlevel view of what might be needed um for each year. And then you saw on the previous slide, I think we paid around 150 155 for buses. So, just kind of rounding that up a little
029bit what that cost could be. And then the cost of opening schools. So, we've gone through um these these pieces I think before. We've modified a little bit of the salaries as we have worked through um what that looks like as far as who how many teachers from Medina Valley need to transfer and how many would stay. And we're right around the $6 million mark with all-in benefits, stipens, and all of that. Um and additional staff going in. Obviously this year we hired principal and the coordinators are coming on board early and some coaches and and the fine arts director and the academic dean and so some of that is in the first the year zero budget. It's the additional six million going into next year. An average high school is about a million dollars
030in utilities a year and so we are we are allocating funding for that. Should that look better then great. Um but that's kind of where we are with utilities. Um obviously we have to add insurance and then just a little bit of a bump for opening a campus in case um for supplies and things that we miss in >> FF >> the which part? >> Yes. >> Uh the it's not including that in the year two. So year zero it it is separate. Yeah. >> Correct. So now you see the budget dilemma. We're getting there. Um and then yeah. >> Um and then we we move. Yeah. I was like I try to make it really easy. U math in the head. Um, but then obviously next year we'll also be adding middle school three.
031And so you'll have the first year salaries to bring probably a principal and and at least a a secretary on board for them, whether it's full year or midyear. I don't know that the district's decided that piece. And then some startup for that middle school as well. and then the salaries that would go along with it, assuming that we open obviously sixth through eighth grade um and have a full staff. And then elementary 7 kind of following the next year. It does get a lot cheaper when it's not a comprehensive high school um with all of the all of the things that go with that. And so it's the what an elementary would look like. So whether that's seven or eight, very similar. And so kind of splitting it out. Um we did the 585
032this year. Next year we would be adding the 7.7. The following year it's still about 5.7 and then it and then it starts to again tail off a little bit when we get into the the less expensive elementary schools. And so putting putting all of that kind of together and as we talked about the revenue piece may be closer to 7 million. Um but we're looking for the teachers for growth. The new positions and startup for Creek View. Um campus allocations is just assuming 700 kids. We have $120 a campus that the campuses get for discretionary budget. Um state spending requirements we have to always adjust. Sometimes that's handled in staffing and and it won't be necessary but it could be there. Um the deferred maintenance and capital projects obviously one of the things that
033we look at after we get the positioning kind of squared away and then also compensation for next year is left at zero right now and that's around $10 million. So one of >> this year >> just around five So that is kind of the key to how we are going to make it work. You are >> you got it. I don't even know that you need the activity. No, >> we're real close. >> We're very close. >> Yeah. So if you and and you'll get we're going to pull up kind of the spreadsheet in a second for you to kind of play with that. But but yeah, you have the option to to look at that enrollment number if you want to drop that down. The you know the demographer is at 560. We use
034700. Um the attendance percentage obviously you can choose that piece too. >> Yes. Yes. That's my baseline. So if >> correct >> um I think it's 750ish. 750 is a little bit more. It looks like I think it's 7.3. So it's the 723 is what what I used when I did it. It's the 11202. Um, so we're gonna I'm going to pull this up because there's a couple things in there. You can also look. So, what we want what the takeaways or what we what I would like to kind of decide on as a group is is what enrollment number we're going to use and what attendance percent we're going to use to build the baseline um revenue side of the budget and then um we'll kind of work through the rest. So, there are
035always gives and takes, right? like there everyone had pretty generous budgets this year because we could and we still reserved quite a bit in capital projects money which was great because we were able to do that. Um obviously the other thing we didn't talk about was fund balance and our fund balance is healthy. We put a good a good amount into it this last year which should also put us in a good spot going into next year um for that. So I will have everyone who donated a laptop come and log in and we will let you all just with your table partners >> but I don't know if I want to make you move. I was gonna put together but And then >> or me saying this is a >> basically Am I positive?
0365 million 10.12 million student and it I think the development was a little slower and then next year. >> Crystal, what was what was our property value growth this year? >> It was fiveish, just under 5% once we had all those. That's >> so we're projecting it might be a little better but it won't demograph >> I think for I think for our district like St. what they can do and so it would be families driving into San Antonio that might take advantage of that piece. >> Um I know that we've had some reach out for special >> it opened last week I mean we were prepared and ready >> but we really haven't had that much of a have done their part to >> it was >> I don't expect people to call property

If you take 700 multipi such So when I >> when I actually run it in the tip, I get a little bit of what's the actual like >> one of them started to >> maybe >> No,
040I don't think I mean I don't know that you're necessarily thinking about it wrong. It's just kind of I think 98 is How does this where's the formula? >> It's seven. It's going to give you that 700,000 every 1%. >> Um, and they both of those things kind of play together. >> But this is basically showing that 700 g.2 But it's really elementary. >> Well, well, no, because you have that's what I'm saying. Is that calculating like >> the special ed differentials and all the other funding? >> It it's I mean it's going to count the weighted like in the student growth number. >> That's where it's off. >> That's kind of >> okay. So we've gone the strange that we can go from about a million >> and that is I mean that is
041a potential place where there could be some revenue increase next year is that they are supposed to revamp this funding >> and that takes up that next year but they've released nothing for us to go off of. You're killing me. >> People been sick. >> Blue's been bad. We should still have to agree with him. I believe it's a little bit high >> that includes So, if you if you scroll down, I did add like I kind of double like the high school athletic and fine arts budgets going in because of the travel and and some of the pieces that they're going to need. Those are the only two that I really really looked at because I was like, "Oh, those are definitely going to double >> or close." I mean, creepy is not creepy
042is not going to have the supplies and the the needs that we've had at Medina Valley because they're going to have all new stuff starting. So, it's going to be less and then they're not traveling this far. So, their budget should look a little bit better than >> I know I'm just saying that's like worst case absolute. If you do 700 at 92, which I think a very safe It's a surplus. >> So, but I'm just saying. So, I mean zero. We can't edit that. >> You can edit. You just can type in But it's reduced to zero. Yeah. So, so with no other I mean, I remember both of them telling me when they opened >> but you know what I mean. >> No, but I don't know how the vouchers are going to
043impact or or any I mean I don't think it's going to be a lot to be honest, but >> end up being okay. Yeah, very similar to >> Well, so I can tell you part of the reason like our water is off is from season changes. And so that budget's going to go down next year because they didn't have the to support what they have. So I mean there's almost a million dollars that's going to end up being cut. There's, you know, I have to work with on the technology side, but we did a lot of tech this year. I have to look at the plan and see what the difference between next year's tech and this year's tech was. >> You might know that. put in here. We took last year's number >> 100%.

Yeah. >> Um, we want to start looking at >> I had a I knew that we did a lot this year. So I assume next year >> the flip side is everybody is asking for people >> and that's not in here. >> Correct. It's not necessarily seat belt. >> How's everybody on
045number 10? >> You're probably going to want to and put that kind of target. >> I mean, that's an option. Well, the demographer said, >> so we're at 500. We're at 94% attendance. >> So, flip it and go down to 92. And what can you go up in enrollment? Probably pretty close. >> It's got to be about the same. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. >> The enrollment's a little better than the attendance. Like >> 700. pretty much the same. >> 792 is >> 6 >> and we're at 1% raise >> that number. Yeah, we can figure that out% with 1% raise. We're at 69,000 to the positive. >> But but that's not what we're after. We're after those two numbers. What do you want for because they're going to go build the budget off
046of it. >> Oh, correct. is 93 and a half or something to make my math work >> for what I needed. >> We've always been conservative with 92. We've never even been close to 92. We've always been way above 92. >> I really believe that saves us. So that's my >> I mean it's like it's like you're saying an apple to an apple. I mean 794 or 93 sorry you did 500 at 94. They're they're right. >> Yeah. Well I'm back that's what I'm saying. I'm going to put the real numbers in and say 500 at 94. >> And what do you what did you get? >> Because I don't think we're going to hit 700. >> I don't think so. But >> I don't think we're going to hit 94 and a half. >>
047We historically have we haven't hit 94 and half in four years. >> Where we at on that? >> 93. >> At the end of last year, we were right at 94 at the end of the year. >> 94. had a good semester. >> Yeah, >> but we were 95 point something at snapshot and we've already lost >> a half a percent basically since snapshot. >> What did you have? What did you >> We put nice or sorry 793. So >> just kind of I don't think we're going to hit 700, but >> I think we're going to be in the hole. >> We ran it at 792. >> We left it like we normally do it. >> Let me see how What I'm saying, Matt, is 500 at 94 792. That's virtually the same. >>
048Yeah. Let me see where it comes up. >> 693 is probably a wash, >> too. Putting ratchet straps in the buses for >> seat belt. Well, and I I do think too if you if you keep it at 92 and it goes and we meet the 700, then you have that additional to come back and make the portable and the bus decisions after snapshot and you you still have >> what did you do? I mean >> 792 is better than comes out. Yeah. Comes out better than what I have. The having the students is a little better than the attendance. It's all a gamble anyway. >> Might as well roll the dice. >> You know, I like when I first started doing this, I was OCD about trying to predict down to the point something
049weighted students. >> You don't know about the housing market. You don't know how many people are going to move. And at the end of the day, yeah, it's a starting point. You just have to adjust >> kind of take a percentage. >> It has been correct. I'm not changing anything else anyway. >> But nothing else in there is calculated based off that is those other cells updates. Those are definitely for the portion. right now. >> And so we've we've done the same activity with all of the directors and we've done it with the compensation task force committee and we're doing it with principles at the end and at the end of the month too. >> Um they so the first with the compensation task force we actually lost um techn Wi-Fi at the end so
050we didn't get to go through and do the conclusion. So the next meeting we're going to have to talk through that. Sorry Scott. Um, it just happened to be one of it was 8 o' they'll they'll adjust those two numbers based on >> Yeah. So, we had one table that was doing 5% raises and and and they're making the attendance numbers be what they need them to be to get there. So, you know, it's it's it's a little bit of that, but but the the takeaway is just that the budget is tighter than it was last year, and everyone needs to be really thoughtful about their requests and their needs in their departments and and so that's that's really where we're trying to get everybody is that there's not just an open checkbook for >>
051because I think the soft because when I do 92 that's >> Yeah. So 594% is the same revenue as 792%. And then it's just adding. >> So either either assumption >> Yeah, they're exactly the same. >> I said 700 increase at 92% is the exact same revenue as 594%. Well, and before >> and so you promise you on the revenue >> estimated revenue 6.3 versus 6.8 That's $6.3 million. >> Yep. >> 4.9 6.3 to 792. And you're going to be >> I was just going by the total total estimated revenue. >> Change that to 92. I'm going to bet it's about $560,000,000 >> which is the same as this >> minus the same total estimated revenue. >> It didn't change. So, do you all >> do you all have any other question pieces? I think
052>> I mean I think we're kind of in agreement that the revenue is pretty similar with either estimate and so um we can we can work off of that because we just want the revenue number to be what we want it to be. Um I think you'll also have an updated demographer report before like you're going to have another updated one before this so we can see if there's any changes um from that when we get the next next quarter report and we can look at that. Um, and then we'll the really next big data element is those preliminary values at the end of April. And so that's when when we'll be able to to kind of incorporate that piece in for collections and all of that. It shouldn't make a big impact to this,
053but it is is just something that we want to look at and report back. Any do you all have anybody have any questions or other big takeaways? Um, I know we talked about in a few sections that we have some, you know, internally like everyone is still working through budgets. They won't get those um, back to us until spring breakish time. And so then we'll start looking at looking at those requests as well and see if anything else rises to the surface. >> Okay, that's all I got. >> Thank you. Last on the agenda is adjournment and I'll look for a motion. >> I Jason Bonn to adjourn the special board meeting at 7:23 p.m. on February 11, 2026. >> I have a motion. Do I have a second? >> I Joe be your second
054motion. >> I have a motion and a second. All those in favor raise your hand. All board members voted for and we are adjourned. Thank you.
