THE DEMO · 50 SECONDS

A fund-balance question, asked and cited.

One question typed into the assistant, and every figure that comes back opening on the page it was printed on.

The exchange is real: the question, the figures and the pages are the district's own, with the district's name removed; the titles and the callouts were composed for the film.

WHAT THE FILM SHOWS

  1. 01

    One question, typed in the assistant: ending fund balance across all funds, by budget year.

  2. 02

    The lookup runs across four budget books while you watch.

  3. 03

    Four figures land, each with its budget book, its adoption date and its page: $112,168,174 in the FY2024 Budget Book (final, June 20 2023), p. 8; $112,351,393 in the FY2025 Budget Book (final, June 17 2024), p. 8; $108,581,713 in the FY2026 Budget Book (final, June 16 2025), p. 8; $65,479,844 in the FY2027 Budget Book (final, June 15 2026), p. 10.

  4. 04

    Two citations open on the marked figure: the FY2024 Budget Book at page 8, then the FY2027 Budget Book at page 10, where the district budgets $367,718,062 of revenue against $407,503,012 of expenditure — a planned drawdown of about $39.8 million.

Corpus does not forecast, model, or opine. It returns what the district published and shows you where it said it.
