Demo · invented schoolStep 2 of 12 · Alta’s reading

Alta proposes what it read. You keep, set aside, or leave for later. Try setting one aside: the note stays, the proposal drops. Work this removes: Writing the commitment down somewhere and remembering that Dana owes an estimate.

Demo Demo. Cedar Hollow is invented; no figure here comes from a real school. Every send is simulated.

School · Alta’s reading of the note

Three proposals from one note

Keep, set aside, or leave for later. A proposal enters the record only when you keep it. Set aside keeps the note; it drops the proposal.

Proposed factWaiting for you

October count projection: 418 against a budget of 430, a gap of 12

Source: Dana’s note, Sep 28. Keeping it files the figure with its source and date. Changes nothing else.

Proposed commitmentWaiting for you

January per-pupil estimate at 418 students · Dana Ortiz · no date stated

Source: “I’ll have the January estimate to you once the count is final.” Accepting adds a commitment to the record with Dana as owner and no date. Does not notify Dana, change any calendar, or send anything.

Alta’s readingInterpretation, not a record

If the count holds, the priority “Hold enrollment at budget through the January adjustment” is at risk.

Why: The January adjustment follows the count. The per-pupil rate is not on file, so Alta cannot compute the dollar effect. Dana’s figure of “under budget” stands as her statement, not Alta’s calculation.

Alta will raise this in tomorrow’s brief unless you set it aside.
