Sure. So we started a government efficiency program in 2019 that is so good at saving tax dollars, it's actually been copied into other states. It's called PIE, Public Innovations and Efficiencies. And it covers cities and counties too, but it also covers school districts. We have an incredible checklist of ways that they can save money.

And the more of them that they implement, the more money they're going to save. And so what I would like the state to do, we have right now a really meaningful surplus that's presently just sort of sitting there. I would like us to actually start a revolving fund. to help schools with the upfront cost for those efficiency investments.

Because most folks know, you know, if you're going to make some efficiency investments, you pay a little bit upfront and it pays off down the road. So we could use those state dollars to help dig in and make efficiency improvements. Those would help us do the things that we know make schools more effective.

But you can do those if you're saving that money in a way where it doesn't necessarily cost more money. I think that's a no brainer. And I don't know why we're sitting here in 2025 and it's only being proposed right now as opposed to already being done.
