City Council Work Session

Dustin WrightstaffBUCKETS OF STATE FUNDING THAT GO DIRECTLY TO SUPPORTING SCHOOL SYSTEMS. YOU CAN SEE THE SALES TAX AND THE BASIC SCHOOL AID.

RIDDELL ABOUT ESTIMATING WHERE WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE FOR THIS I GOT SOME GOOD INDICATIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS GOVERNOR, HIS PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WAS PUT OUT IN DECEMBER. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHERE THINGS END UP THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN RICHMOND TO SEE WHAT THAT FINAL FY 2027 BUDGET IS. I DON'T, MY READING OF THE TEA LEAVES IS I WOULD NOT EXPECT IT TO BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER THAT WE ESTIMATED IN DECEMBER, BUT WE'RE MONITORING THAT CLOSELY.
