Chair Linda Lee asks for details on how the $194.5 million in baseline state funding for at-risk youth will be utilized by ACS in FY27 and beyond.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

And if you could let us know how which programs and services it'll fund, that would be great if for follow-up.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

And the 300 million is definitely a significant apportion of funding for the new fiscal year.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

Um and have you developed any plans for how it will utilize the funding for FY27 and beyond?

Rebecca Jones Gaston

Have have those conversations happened?

Rebecca Jones Gaston

Not that's my awareness.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

Okay, so for follow-up, if you could let us know which programs you're thinking of expanding, reworking, adjusting, that would be great.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

Right.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

My understanding about the $300 million is it's not meant for expansion, but meant as revenue.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

Revenue, okay.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

If you could, yeah, either way, that would be great if you could follow up.

Rebecca Jones Gaston

And before and I think that's it for now, but I'm gonna try pass it over to Chair Stevens.
