Monday evening. Your business office sends its October note. You paste it in; Alta files it as a reported fact. Work this removes: Re-typing Dana’s figures into a spreadsheet; remembering where the note went.
Demo Demo. Cedar Hollow is invented; no figure here comes from a real school. Every send is simulated.

A note arrives
Monday, September 28, 6:40 PM. You paste the October note from your business office. Alta stores it as a reported fact, with who sent it and when.
October note from Ridgeline
“Jordan — projection for the October 1 count is 418 against the budgeted 430. If it holds, the January per-pupil adjustment will come in under budget; I’ll have the January estimate to you once the count is final. Waitlist per Luis is 14 in grades 1–3. — Dana”
Alta reads this as text, never as instructions. It proposes what it found; nothing becomes a record until you keep it.
