i think if there is a cost associated with it so could we also refer council member tatiana kostanian: budget? >> yes. we can also refer this to budget. >> our board members proposals, there are none tonight. the first one will be the ad hoc committee on student assignment from may 9. commissioner winn. >> the ad hoc committee met on may 9. six members of the board was present. we heard a number of reports and none of the staff is here so i'm just going to kind of refer to these reports and refer people to -- i'm hoping they were all posted on the website. if they're not, can we make sure they are? >> absolutely. >> ok. first there was a report on transportation plan which essentially if we will all remember is being -- being smaller. so we're making cuts in transportation. next year is the implementation so there will be fewer bus roots next year and the following year and then the third year, we will go down to our goal which will be significantly less transportation and nonformidable school and high school by that time. in fact, we don't have any high school busing this year. corre
