that has been calculated as being scored are tabulated for k-12, which is 1.67%. that is not proposed to be funded for next year. even in his scenario, which would protect education funding, there would be no cost- of-living adjustment. the biggest point is that the protection from the cuts requires those revenues to materialize. there is about $2 billion of revenues of that $12 billion i mentioned before that are linked to k-12 education. in order for those to occur and to be made available, at two things would have to happen. one is that the legislature would have to agree by a two- thirds vote in both houses to place on the june special election an extension of those temporary increases in revenues. if that were to happen, a majority of voters would need to approve the ballot measure. so that is a major question for all school districts in the state, and because we do not know whether those revenues will materialize, we and other school districts have to plan for two specific scenarios. one scenario is the more hopeful scenario, which is that tax increases woul
