Presentation

0:00 → 0:53(54s)

Agency presenter (S1, Agency official) explained a $499,000 item in FY25 was a one-time special grant from Senator Hyde-Smith's office for equipment and training (virtual reality) and was not recurring CSP funding; CSP grant is no longer awarded to the agency and a nonprofit now holds that program. Presenter flagged that FY25 had no general fund appropriation and that technical assistance previously paid from CSP must now come from general or special funds.
