So, Carter cases.
3:31:42
We are 2025 spending on Carter cases will exceed fiscal twenty twenty four at around 1,190,000,000.00.
3:31:50
And, in fiscal twenty twenty six budget for Carter cases, have 934,000,000,000 million.
3:31:56
Does ONB expect fiscal twenty twenty six spending in CARTA cases to exceed what is already happening in 2024?
Jacques Jiha

Again, this is one of the cliffs that we have that we monitor throughout the year, And, as we see the actual numbers, we adjust our budget to reflect the reality on the ground.
Rita Joseph
3:32:17
On many occasions we ask New York City public schools to differentiate between Conner and Carter cases.
3:32:22
They have not been able to do so.
3:32:23
Is OMB, are you able to differentiate between the two?
Jacques Jiha
3:32:29
We're
Latonia McKinney
3:32:33
working on that.
3:32:34
Like, we're working with New York City public schools all the time.
Rita Joseph
3:32:37
But they don't know either.
Latonia McKinney
3:32:39
So right now we Right.
3:32:40
We have our our Carter's number, but we'll have to continue
Rita Joseph
3:32:43
to Get on the Carter cases because they are different.
3:32:44
They keep telling me they are the same.
3:32:46
They're not the same things.
3:32:47
Right.
3:32:47
Even if when you look in demographic and who takes a Carter case versus a Carter case, they're very different.
Latonia McKinney
3:32:52
Right, we'll have to get back to you on that one Councilmember.
Rita Joseph
