C.J.'s Nine Best Schools Allocation ($900,000,000)
A single-page policy pitch and bold budget line that reads: $900,000,000 — nine model public schools. Printed on heavy memo stock with terse cost-per-site figures and a one-line justification, it moves across the Roosevelt Room table as C.J. pushes it forward, tapping numbers and using the sheet as a physical alternative to the conservation group's proposal.

Purpose
To specify and propose a $900 million federal allocation to build nine model public schools, with cost estimates and implementation framing presented as a concrete spending alternative.
Significance
Functions as a political counterproposal and bargaining chip: it redirects a moral, expensive conservation ask into a pragmatic education investment, showcases C.J.'s electoral calculus, and reframes the debate around price and voter reality.
