Chair Linda Lee asks about additional savings identified under Executive Order 12 and requests the budget breakdown for school-based versus center-based COMPASS programs.

Luisa Linares

And what other savings, if any, were identified in the executive budget due to the mayor's executive twelve order?

Luisa Linares

Sure, and so as part of the executive 12 order, we looked at the new organization to see where we can find efficiencies and um how funding is um utilized, and we identified surplus as well as unobligated funding in a number of program areas, and with that we submitted that, and um that was accepted, and as a result, we did not do any service cuts for any of our programs, and so we were just prioritizing that.

Luisa Linares

Okay.

Luisa Linares

Um and then just really quickly moving over to COMPAS because I know you all have been putting a lot of effort into the new RFPs.

Luisa Linares

And I gotta say, I I I started my I did my first year social work degree at a beacon program, so I just want to plus one to what you're saying.

Luisa Linares

Um but um I know you said there was 727 million total for the RFPs, and so what's the breakdown with the school based versus the center-based budgets?

Luisa Linares

I don't have that offering, I can get back to you on that.

Luisa Linares

I don't want to give you wrong information, but I can give that to you.

Luisa Linares

Okay, perfect.
