“Yeah, that's my point, is that at this point, the FDOE has told you to choose your own adventure. We've gone to the school board, and the school board, at least up to now, has not decided to weigh in one way or the other If it's choose your own adventure, then choose it, standardize it across because this issue of the charter schools is a growing issue within the district. And then see if anyone makes noise or responds from there. But I think everyone's silence has put the ball back in your office's court.”

“Correct. And then, because one, someone's going to complain to their lobbyist friends, and then you will get the answer you're looking for one way or the other. But I think, too, because we owe it to everyone we interact with to at least be standardized in our approach to how, hi, we've asked everyone for this information. You're not special. You're not unique. We're asking you for this information, too. And each time that you negotiate a resolution to that, as you just did, that's a benchmark. Here's what we have negotiated in the past so that you're creating your own standardization is what…”

“sort of muddling over this and as if there's nothing ultimately that can be done there is something ultimately that could could be done philosophically in in the absence of a law a direction or a rule i'm all for it asking for the most you're going to get the litigator thing so i i so i get it i appreciate the issue but i also appreciate the accounting quandary it puts you in And we're going to see more of it because of the size of some of these management companies and the scope of some of these management companies that we are giving significant amounts of money to.
