used in the past. now, part of the reason why i thought this was going to be ok is that we have 18 months to use those funds. we do have the academic year, so, technically, this is still current according to the california department of education. commissioner wynns: then the term of this issue before last year. it should be really retroactive. -- then the term of this is truly for last year. >> a handful of others that are similar. commissioner wynns: i would have staff postpone this so that we can fix this. thank you. >> it sounds like we also have a current contract, and it seems to me that we have already started services on the after- school program, so you're going to be presenting us with two red director of resolutions. >> also, the new contract is for just this year. each of our school sites, or at least a high-school, is awarded -- any resolution that is reflective of that is just for the 2010-2011 academic year, which started on august 16. >> correct, which makes it retroactive. i am not going to say what i really want to say. this is so frustrating. if they have no idea of how to present this to us in a way that is accurate,
