Moves CAL FIRE Living Schoolyards grant money to staff time with no new funding

This amendment to a state grant from the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) moves budget from outreach and contracts to staff time for the Oakland Living Schoolyards Implementation Project. The grant would pay for three positions in the Systems and Services office. The original award was $4,998,782.88, and the text does not add money. The revised term is December 9, 2024 through March 30, 2026.

Discrepancy from the official text. The original grant term began December 6, 2023, but the revised term is stated as beginning December 9, 2024, so the start date of the term being approved is unclear. (Confirmed by a second, independent AI reading.)
