54		-	institute charter schools. The department of education shall implement the
55		-	reduction in total program funding through the application of a budget

59		-	projections, the amount of such reduction to ensure the following:

69		-	make mid-year revisions to replace projections with actual figures,
70		-	including but not limited to actual pupil enrollment, assessed valuations,
71		-	and specific ownership tax revenue from the prior year, to determine any
72		-	necessary changes in the amount of the reduction to maintain a total
73		-	program funding amount for the applicable budget year that is consistent
74		-	with this subsection (5)(g)(I)(L). For the 2022-23 budget year, the
