      Council Member Justin Brannan, Chair of the Committee on Finance, engages in a Q&A session with representatives from the Independent Budget Office (IBO) regarding revenue forecasts and foundation aid. The discussion covers differences between IBO and OMB forecasts, as well as potential impacts of changes to foundation aid as proposed by the Rockefeller Institute.

      • IBO's revenue forecast is approximately $1.2 billion higher than OMB's, primarily due to differences in personal income tax and property tax estimates.
      • IBO analyzed potential impacts of changes to foundation aid, including adjustments to poverty count, pupil need index, and regional cost index.
      • The discussion touched on the need to consider students in temporary housing and districts experiencing large enrollment increases due to asylum seekers.
