So I'm training accordingly and we'll see who's gonna get this work for the world title. Now, I mean, that's 100% because I was at that first fight. It was so close. It was two to two going to the 5th. One judge had you winning. You could argue that you were winning easily. And then you slipped up a banana peel. We all know what happened. The judge stopped it early. But it was like such a great fight and you had food poisoning. According to you, that you got food with the night before, you were up till 5 in the morning.

You know, there was a lot of controversy in that first fight. If I would end up winning that night, I wouldn't have been okay with it. I would have wanted to run it back because I want to leave no doubt in the fans eyes that I'm the best in the world. And you know what, Marty juiceman has left a lot of doubts in the fan size.

"So it's it's You can understand why people would be skeptical. I'm finding a hard time summarizing all of the barriers legal and Functional and. I think that's kind of the point is that i speak english as a first language. I have all these contacts to ask about how the law works and how eligibility is supposed to work in who someone is supposed to talk to. An is still have a hard time sorting through all the various barriers. That would face any specific family and so imagine doing that from home. Ah where the power maybe just came out on hasn't come back on in a language since the first language. I think that's kind of the central. Point is really hard to navigate for native english speakers in new orleans where the power has been on for a couple of weeks when there was of her yet i don't even know how somebody is supposed to be able to figure it out on their yeah. This story is heartbreaking. What i should say the the side of this. Who's going to be in the story that we've decided to turn into another story next week but the i would you know kind of love to make sure people know here is the there is this immense need but at the same time the kind of mutual aid work. That's being done to meet those immediate needs. Maybe ought to be able to repair people's homes. I think that's my big question. And that's where fema will be sort of the defining form of aid for various communities. But right now. The mutual aid work being done in homa being done in the new orleans area is Pretty staggering to. It's not just that families. Like the one. I spoke to another one who will be In a forthcoming story are victims. They're also the ones providing food to their neighbors ones You know going to bruce. This story us without these massive federal barriers to the kinds of aid and in some ways arbitrary barriers to the kinds of aid that many residents in louisiana are going to rely on and recovering from the storm but also there is a ton of joy. I don't want to downplay the joy and the Generosity feels a little bit too shallow of a word but the depth of sort of care and aid for one. Another that i've seen so i don't want this to be yep people left with nothing takeaway adds. That is a form aid. That many of us are going to rely on that they can get but also they're filling it in. Yeah there's a lot that people are doing for themselves known. I talk to us right now.

"New orleans verse nonprofit nonpartisan public interest. Newsroom i'm caroline heldman on this week's episode. The new orleans ethics review board voted unanimously. This week to recommend a revision to the city's code of ethics that would bar city council members and candidates from accepting political contributions from city regulated utility firms new numbers released by the department of public safety and corrections reveals of one hundred fifty percent increase in cove in nineteen cases since last week among people incarcerated in louisiana state prisons and the nulla public schools district is reporting one hundred sixteen active cases of cove in nineteen among students and staff in the early days of the new school year those stories insight and analysis coming up on on the podcast this week government and cultural economy reporter. Michael isaac stein. Hey michael criminal justice reporter. Nick crystals here. Hey nick education reporter marty juice. Good morning. Marta and editor charles maldonado head. Charles morning michael up first with you. An ethics review board has recommended banning political contributions to council and candidates from energy and other utilities who operate under city regulations. What happened at the ethics review board this week so so i'll start by just clarifying that. There's the ethics board and a city ethics lord and so we're talking about the city at export and so they. They met earlier this week to discuss a proposal on that had been brought forward by the great new orleans interfaith climate change coalition which is a group of very active climate and energy advocate And they brought supposedly ethic sport that there should be a change to the city's code of ethics that would bar city council members in city council candidates. I'm from receiving contributions from a pretty wide range of sources. So you know it would include energy cox any other what's call regulated. Utility would also bar contributions from any firm or person who has a contract awarded by the city council or the sewer waterboard. It would also create a new disclosure requirement for candidates. That would basically any anyone who wanted to run for. City council would have to disclose whether they had received any contributions or financial benefits. Any of those sources over the previous five years so that was the proposal. The board voted in favor of it. which means that now. It is an official recommendation to the city council. So all of these rule changes are still recommendations in order for them to become actual rules and changes in the code of ethics. The city council will need to vote on that okay so it sounds like there were some loopholes prior to this year so basically starting in the mid like two thousand six two thousand seven. The city council started volunteer voluntarily committed to not take contributions from energy from the city's utility consultants. You know some of the main ones that fit into these categories kind of the same spirit basically just been nonbinding resolution so more or less with the resolutions were is basically saying we as seven council members vow to not take contributions from these sources but it hasn't historically applied to council candidates who were on the city council and also it's been a nonbinding resolution meeting that if someone did take money from one of these sources it might be embarrassing if a if a publication reported on it but they wouldn't be any actual consequences So the the interfaith climate change coalition wanted you know these basically voluntary promises to become actual ethics rules with potential. You know criminal consequences. Yeah this seems to have been proposed right around the same time that the current sitting city council was moving through a nonbinding resolution that applied to enter de utility consultants and i think that the most recent resolution was was possibly the first one that that they sought to try to apply to council candidates who are not sitting council members remember correctly. Is that right. Michael yeah so so. The resolution again. These nonbinding resolutions of the one that was passed in june was definitely the most extensive one that's ever been passed at least as far as i know but yeah i mean a big part of it. Was that again like we. I just talked about. It has historically been a resolution that was a seven council members down not to do something. Now there's new resolution was at hey council candidates so highly. Encourage you to follow these rules as well so again still not non-binding knowing he get natural trouble for it But it is setting a certain precedent that you know. It's expected it's at least in the precedent that there is a conflict of interest here And you know there is a potential ethical. Issue would taking money from the companies that he'll be expected to regulate Indoor higher in this jobs but again that was still a nonbinding resolution. So yeah this group wanted to make that a little bit stricter to turn it into real code it. They may not have the legal authority to do that. It's unclear of so so there were some legal issues over discussed of the code of ethics ultimately they decided to recommend the policy anyway without firmly resolving those legal issues. i think from from the board of ethics standpoint. They're begging this recommendation based off ethical principles involved and they say that you know ethically candidates should not be money from these sources now. You're waiting into some tricky legal territory here because we're talking about Not just First amendment free speech rights here. We're talking about political speech which is especially protected especially touchy could. You're talking about barring certain people on certain companies from participating in the political process from participating in the election process which is not a small thing. it country bill off of free fair elections with free speech. So i think that there are some concerns there about you. Know a city council waiting into election finance laws. Which again is something. That gets litigated at the highest levels of government. So i i think that there were some concerns there. There were also a questions about whether the code of ethics can create rules for people who aren't currently city council members government officials right so again. This isn't just creating rules for city sitting city council members It's also creating rules for candidates who could just be me or you or anyone just outside of government so again. The government create ethics rules for people outside. The government is another legal question. The disclosure requirement might also be a tricky issue. Right because that's traditionally been the purview of the state ethics or not the city ethics review board. Right and right and so there's a question about you know kim. The city ethic code of ethics. How much further can it go than the state code of ethics. I basically how it was explained to me. It was that you have the state code of ethics which you know you. You can't create any ethics rules on a local level that are less stringent or less strict than state level But theoretically you can make rules. That are more strict or more stringent than the state level code of ethics. So.

"Lens. New orleans first nonprofit nonpartisan public interest newsroom. I'm caroline heldman on this week's episode while the pandemic forced the closure of indoor music venues throughout the city some businesses pivoted to operating successful outdoor venues under temporary permits from the city but their futures are now uncertain as the virus surges throughout the state department of correction said that there are now more than fifty prisoners who've tested positive for disease. The vast majority of new orleans public high schools will require vaccinations or weekly cove in nineteen testing for students participating in extracurricular activities those stories insight and analysis. Coming up on behind lens on the podcast this week. Government and cultural economy report. Michael isaac stein. Hey michael education reporter marty juices here. Marta criminal justice reporter nick nick caroline and lens editor charles maldonado. Hi charles michael up first with you. In government news. Several businesses either started or continued operating outdoors during the height of the cova closures and it was a great success for some for example the broadside now however they may be stopping due to some zoning issues. Can you explain what happened here. What's going on like you said there have been a few places in the city that During the pandemic started offering more live outdoor music. This was largely seen as much safer way to go see music and to be crowd than to be inside a normal Like you said the broadside which opened up right across the street from the broad theater is a great example of that. The broad theaters indoor movie theater was not doing well during the pandemic. Because of you know business distractions and safety protocols and so they opened up this outdoor space another example azzoni mash which is a A brewery that started regularly hosting live music but then in in by accompanies of news came out first zony mash posted on social media that they were cancelling the rest of their july music schedule because of issues dealing with the city around their permanent for outdoor music and we spoke with the broadside Who said they were also facing issues with their permanent status as well And that they were going to be closing down for some renovations for the month. August and half july with the hope of reopening in september but as reported good are still some big issues around whether the broadsides on any of these other live music. Venues are going to bid or real the long term so initially. They were all sorts of special permit uses. But now there's a reinterpretation of those zoning laws so basically what happened is the in in two thousand nine hundred. Nineteen the department of safety and permits change. It's an intern interpretation of existing zoning laws to more or less outlawed regular outdoor live music in the entire city accepted the french quarter and that was all prior prior to prior to kovin. This was fired to depend. And this is something that we recovering as a separate issue It was a big deal when it came out at the time on came as a shock to a lot of people. You know new orleans obviously of music town and the safety of the department in permits again you know quietly decided that they were gonna reinterpret a part of the law. That said you were hosting live entertainment. You have to close your windows doors. No most people read that part of the zoning law and assumed that only applied to indoor music again because of the reference to windows and doors however in two thousand nineteen department safety and permits decided that also apply to outdoor music. And since you can't close windows and doors to the outside batman that live outdoor entertainment wasn't allowed By right anywhere in the city except for in the french quarter. Although even in the french quarter you have to go through a an additional process there solicited the end result is that in order to host live outdoor entertainment. You need a special event hermit however special bent hermits are cats at a maximum eight year and each of them are only good for three days in a row. So even if you scheduled all of your events three days in a row you'd still get a maximum of twenty four total days that you could host outdoor live entertainment so what happened next with special permitting rules. So they'd covert hit right and end. The city decided that in part of its efforts to combat. The virus was to encourage people to hang out outside more. You know there. Is i if you remember the city encouraging people to go to parks you know anything outdoors. Basically just don't go inside so what they did was. They lifted the cat on the special. How many special permits. You could have her year in. Basically the way it's working now is that apply for a special Hermit it's good for an initial ten days and then it can be extended for a six month period so for businesses like the broadside mash. They were able to get special permits. That were good for six months at a time. I'm basically allowing them to have this. This line up for music but those are temporary kovin rules okay and those are now being revisited. Because they can't continue to operate under special permitting. Is there any effort to change this to allow them to have a normal permit. You're so so. There's the short term temporal issue in the long permanent rule. Issue all tackle the short term problem on i it so in the short term like you said we've seen emails internally administration emails that showed that in may when the pandemic was looking a lot more optimistic people getting vaccinated. Transmission rates were low There was talk of getting rid of this rule that indicates to us that when the crow virus endemic does actually start winding down. This rule is going to go out the window however obviously we have the delta variant now Things are not looking as good as they were in may and so. I don't think that in the immediate future can get rid of these pandemic rules however again you know somewhere on the horizon at some point we know these rules are going to end which presents to the long-term issue which brings us back in twenty nineteen rather bizarre probation for brief safety permits. Basically i don't know of anyone who doesn't think that there needs to be some changes around this interpretation H shortly after this came out in two thousand nineteen city council directed the city planning commission to study more comprehensive changes to the city's zoning laws that would allow outdoor music to be able to exist in more places than just the french quarter so the cdc went ahead and did that study drug. Twenty twenty and the finalized a study and package of recommendations in january twenty twenty one now the way that you know changes to zoning laws work is that how they usually work is that the city council will ask the city planning commission to prepare a study and recommendations and then in order for those recommendations to actually become law. The city council has to take another vote to accept those recommendations now. The second part of that never happened. The city council has taken a vote on these. Cpc recommendations that came down in january so again the ceo. these recommendations. I won't get into all the details. But they would more or less allow businesses like broadside and johnny nash to exist in the long term to to be able to have outdoor live entertainment in the long term. I'm again until the city council takes action..

"New details emerged from forensic investigation into suspicious. Employees background checks by the dryades. Ymca which runs the james m singleton charter school. A quarter cent sales tax in the french quarter to help pay for security in the historic neighborhood was meant to go into effect on july first but a legal dispute has delayed its roll up and a former new orleans independent police monitor and newly announced candidate for sheriff has joined some city council members opposing the proposed new city jail facility called phase three that the city has been ordered to build to house detainees with serious mental illness or medical needs those stories insight and analysis coming online the ladies on the podcast week education reporter marty juice in good morning. Marta government and cultural economy reporter. Mike allies eckstein. Hi michael morning criminal. Justice reported net crystals. Here haynick an lens editor. Charles maldonado charles. So marta this week newly released details from forensic investigation conducted this past spring include specific evidence against the former. Cfo at the dryades. Ymca which operates the james singleton charter school. The report was introduced at a hearing. How did the investigation come out. Yeah so we've not been background check issues for a while at the school right that at all kind of i guess we could say tobacco all the way up with district notice last. September wasn't really taking heavy action on intel. Small warning in december of bigger than march march is kind of one when the public really found out about what was going on. Not really suspicious. Background checks so where this forensic investigation in march and got it back. In april of public hadn't seen until it was introduced in that trial last week it discusses the former. Cfo katrina read. What did it show yes. I mean it's specifically drills down until you know. They're taking her computer in our hard. Drives the fan document hump quote background check dot x. Like it pretty pretty evident that this was not just an accident and appears to be a lot more calculated than anyone. I think was able to say up until this point. Yeah previously you know the the sort of evidence that we've seen come out in the media from from sources at singleton the singleton audit conducted state kind of piece together. It seemed to be somewhat circumstantial. It seemed to be related to the fact that katrina read. Mr one who is handling background checks. She was responding to administrator emails. About where are these background checks. But this forensic audit connects the dots in a way that we really haven't seen before and it before we had problems with like unique identifier codes but really really unclear like was that from her could possibly in air from state police and it looks like it went all the way back to twenty fourteen. Is that right. Yes these these documents collect to think about twenty sixteen but what also is new in this investigation as a twenty fourteen warning from a different state entity it's a licensing entities probably for their child care aspects of the wires from the youth programming type of thing but they got in trouble for the exact same thing which was a background check problem. We ask the district if they knew about that and the district's response was spoiled manage. Shot back then job now all right. So what's happening with the lawsuit that the school filed against the district right to the school district because the district came out in late. June intel insert the revocation process. Which means they're going to basically try to school before the square starts which is a very quick time on for the district to do. They don't normally do things that swiftly especially over the summer so singleton and dry land officials sought out a restraining order. Granted that currently prevents the district from contacting students or families where teachers until the revocation is final. So if they're not able to contact the families the families are surely hearing about this through either the grapevine or our website or you know other coverage of what's going on are they able to make other arrangements for their kids even if they haven't been officially contacted by school administration. The feelings of failings at this point could if they wanted to try to enroll another school through the summer enrollment program district had said they would give students priority enrollment. That's a good person asks unclear to me still being offered. You know if they're not allowed to make contact with these families but yeah basically feelings could choose to leave. They want to right now. During the hearing last week district said that they had not seen a drop in enrollment aung on their side of things which is interesting. You know we have another two weeks before this thing hopefully finally shakes out. But that's a long time to make. Yeah yeah. I mean it. Just just back up that for a second listeners. Who are familiar under a quote unquote. Normal revocation procedure once read revocation is underway the families to send their children. They're given a special priority one app. How would that typically work murder. i mean typically. We're going to see a priority in one app is only so good as the openings that exist at the time so i summer enrollment on not necessarily that great but he would be you know during the during a normal enrollment he would be basically first in line to get into our school newspaper. We wanted to. Is it conceivable that this thing keeps getting kicked down and continues to grind through whatever legal system that it's in now and it could continue to operate as a school for the school year. I think the longest term outlook After this school would potentially be operate for one more year because they only have one year left on their contract. I do think i'm assuming. And i think my guess is that robert Rotation precede on the july meeting. That's just based on attitude of district but if that doesn't happen it's conceivable that the school could operate for just one final year but its last year in the contract of a suspect. It would be like they would that that superdome would not renew the contract in december which includes the school next june right. Yeah you'd be able to do that because likely leap legal challenge because that's that would be the normal processes. That's his prerogative at any time to to end the contract when it expires route yet it'd be the end of the contract versus now where you know kind of what we're court over. Was the school saying. Hey we have all these disputes with you. You've alexa we've done. Xyz we wanna talk about that and we have the right to talk about that contract. The other thing. The judge did do as ordered that. They tend mediation by the end of this week at just one last question murder by the time we get to these rely meetings with the school board. How far are we from the beginning of the school year like less than two weeks. I think singleton price starts somewhere between the tenth in the fifteenth around. The is not a little bit earlier. So that's cutting it pretty close right. It's very vary of that too. She absolutely was being empathetic to families in vain. Enough time to.

"On the podcast this week education reporter marty juice sincere. Hey marta karen criminal justice reporter nick crystals here the government and cultural economy reporter michael isaac stein's here and lens editor. Charles maldonado is joining. Hey charles morning so. The first step in education committee has moved forward with recommending several names and educators. Have come up in those names. Tell us what the committee announced this week. Yes they're public. Hearing this week. We have twenty school buildings that School district has decided to rename because they were named universally owners are confederate sympathizers and now the next phase process is we have a list of names renamed billions with. And you know. I think there's a lot of familiar names. You're going to see on there and there's also a mike nursing educators that were brought up this week. Who are just local. Educators liam mckenna. Eliot dr eliot doc lillard Who people really spoke passionately about hoping that they would have school named after them. Okay and we talked last week. You assumed there would be some pushback from school parents and alums on the renaming process. Has there been any. I was really surprised at this public. Hearing to not hear much pushback. There were two people who commented who thought ben franklin for ben franklin high school should have another shot and should be able to keep the name. 'cause he proposed abolishing slavery. Later became an abolitionist. Even though he was at one point a slave owner but that the committee in the the school board have really stayed strong in that they had created categories for these people on these names. And if you sit on your list and you're out so right an as you explained last week. The school district only controls the buildings that they own and then the operators inside those buildings control their own name of their charter. For example are there are those groups making any decisions about changing any names right. So i think you know the mcdonagh thirty five alumni which is a school that is known here Basically whatever say for black excellent. It was the first high school open to african american students in the city and has been highly regarded for a long time. So what. I find interesting. Is that inspiring alo- a charter. Group runs mcdonagh. Thirty five in the eastern mcdonagh for two. They changed mcdonagh. Forty two to just forty two charter school. But i don't know if they're gonna change retire thirty five because because of that history that has you know some alumni our team we gotta keep the name we wanna keep the name. No thanks john mcdonough who was a slave owner and philanthropist when we say mcdonagh thirty five and then some other people are saying why do we need to keep done a school. We just think of literally number thirty five so could be thirty. Five high school could be thirty five senior. Can i ask you something murder. We have heard a lot since they started this about Mcdonagh thirty five in ben franklin in particular one other school. I've been curious about When it comes to what are they going to decide to be with. The actual school man is lesser. Have we have. We heard anything from their administration at all We haven't heard from their administration and to be honest i haven't asked him recently I do know that at the beginning of this process In some opium speed board meetings there is some pretty strong push that people winds keep the name of that. I think as we've continued people have figured out that the building name doesn't equate to charter name which some other Musher parents were criticizing and say you know what opiates be. Even do like this is a. You're not even really taking a stand. If you're just changing can change the name of the school. So i have not heard specifically for musher in the last couple of weeks and i'm not sure it's going to happen there but it is interesting because they have multiple different building names. They go by charter school but also nonprofit is named advocates for arts based education. So think they're right and this whole process seemed to be pretty speedy and in fact there was a little bit of disquiet around the deadline. Because it was it came up super fast but then yesterday announced in a press release that there's another opportunity for the public to weigh in. Tell us about a second public. Hearing in next week. I may fifth. And then i do think there was some confusion around the process that this has been going on for many months right the started last year however the list of schools have is gonna. We're going to have their names changed. It came out within the last month voted on and i don't think people realize that was going to happen this month. Because public comment period for submitting new names opening till friday. Okay and can you give me a sense of how much input not input but rather influence. This committee will have in the final say. Yeah i think my guess would be that. The superintendent will go with whatever their recommendation though. And i think they're gonna make specific recommendations for each building based on you know educators. Who taught there. Or you know the history of the neighborhood or the history of the area But i think what we are going to see in the future. We're gonna have a lot of more complicated names like we already know. We have many schools like peer capital at avery. Alexander elementary school which is just kind of a mouthful right right then to carry that question even another step. How much influence does the public do. You think have on the committee for example. If there's a really loud vociferous group advocating for something either. Non changing or to change to a specific name. Do you think that that will sway the committee. I do think this is slightly like less political and more you know. The committee is a a team of historians and also some community members. So i'm hoping that there. There's a lot of community voice in here but you know it is it is unofficial in terms of voting and who who actually has the power to change these names but i'm guessing that they're going to listen to the community and especially in the history you team okay and tells what's going on with covid in schools. Yes cova numbers. Cases dropped lately this week and quarantines dropped so i think you know maybe i was in our health experts I think maybe we did see a little easter spring. Break bump now. Maybe we're coming down from that. Really they never at least for the past couple months they've really been pretty consistently low The school number. Sit my right about that. yeah. I mean i don't. I don't think we've caught cross the twenty case threshold quite a while but we did see quarantines go up quite a bit last week at two hundred range but now are in the one hundred page and most of these schools are going to be going off for summer break in like three or four weeks rate wherein testing caesar right now and then. It's going to be graduation season. And then kids are gonna be out of school or they're going to be back in school for summer school which can be a lot more of that this summer but still fewer kids in school buildings imaginer right marty. You know. just a a curveball here Do you know how they administer tests to those.

Nola public schools is the recipient of certain funds district officials say the three million dollars is critical for certain services but the council may have other ideas for its use. What was the district asking for at the city. Council's meeting this week district. I think that what they were making a rather routine requests they are asking for one point. Five million dollars to be split between three different programs to specialized programs and third. Which is the school at the jail. It turns out the conversation wasn't so simple. Yeah that's it. I mean it's a terribly long time that they've had this funding and as you said it seemed like it was routine and then suddenly it's not that's got to be really disruptive for them it came as well maybe not a total surprise because this money Given out you know sooner or not not. We shouldn't have waited until now that you have in this discussion. But so maybe they had some anticipation that there is gonna be more discussion here but certainly for them to lose this one and a half million and what is normally to three million and better economic years i think was a very big Is potentially going to be an express right. Yeah and just just two little background on this. This is this is money that payments that are guaranteed by harrah's casino now As a result you know long term exclusive luiz. Stop rated in cbd in new orleans previously under the lease deal. I believe there was money. Specifically earmarked for orleans parish for the orleans earth's will board but when they signed a new lease last year On those terms loosened somewhat believed and and just tagged to go to education in general. Okay so right. It used to explicitly say nola public schools. Now they're saying that they there may be redirecting towards early childhood education. Give us some detail a little bit more about which which places are at risk of losing funding and what happens to them sure. Sound the places that they district is trying to supplement whereas one travis hill school. That's the school at the jail. Second as the center for resilience which is a very small program that is targeted toward students. Who are having emotional or behavioral issues in school in really can't function in a normal environment. So they're brought out to this much smaller program than Until they until such time that they feel better more comfortable if they can go back to their normal school and most of those kids do go back to their normal school. So you know this is really you can tell us a traditional program that is important for kids and then the third is the district of student support which is a social workers in non students who are having trouble with attendance. Tries to get them back in school. What do they do now if they're if they're funding if this funding dries up i can't it's probably not all their funding. But what do they do. How do they operate a certainly. The district needs to continue travis right. That is a school within the district. Back the way. I see it. I don't know if this is one hundred percent correct but you know. The district has in educational opportunity to students in the city. So i think they actually funding the school of jail. Those other programs. I think might take more of a hit in terms of services being offered You know the center for resilience is a nonprofit. So it's possible that they can have a contract issue with the with the district. And i think really what. You're seeing here. Subaru henderson louis. I'd need this money to provide these critical services to our students is something we've been doing since two thousand four And actually had a former state or text me yesterday and say actually you know the hearers money goes back even farther but what lewis was saying that these three programs there are so specialized that really to run a school. Officially you need a certain number of minimum amount of students right to have a healthy budget. New these are the types of programs that when you don't have a certain number of students you know it's going to cost a lot more to run these types of programs that type thing why they direct the money here but the other thing. You're seeing here. is you. Think about back. In two thousand four orleans was a pretty traditional district that school board was in charge of most money and charter schools and attorney most services. Now the district is Only operates one school directly while we're at all charter system. And some money flows in many different ways. Though the district is still responsible for some of these you know more centralized or stopgap. Or wraparound services. They kind of Come to fill in those gaps so this is really the result of a changing System and you know hopefully we can continue to fund these programs. I have a question. Oria the city council's talking about rerouting. This money to early childhood education programs knows the beat. Early childhood education programs presumably that are outside of the public schools control. Now i think the background on that this is you know we're talking about. The current brand brown is one point. Five million dollars. I think the background on that is. This is money that the council is thinking about replacing. That would have gone to early. Childhood education at the the library millage proposal last year passed the december. Vote that Opposed taking about forty percent of the libraries tax budget and rerouting at to other priorities including pretty small slice to too early childhood education. Now would there be options for the district offer to the council To find the certain perhaps district run early childhood. Is that something that that that would be a possibility yes. The district does have certain money that they could use to expand programming in that direction but the the large bulk of the districts money is state and federal money that is coming forth simply cater twelve seats if it is complicated in that way that allowed their money is your march specifically for elementary middle and high school education and not early childhood education. I'm just. I'm just wondering if it would be if it would be at at all possible. And maybe this is difficult to answer for the district to propose to the council that this money would fund certain early.
