The FY2026 report certifies the Prevention Education program at 35,757.00 spent in the year 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 (p22). The County's Budget Detail Inquiry shows no payment on any prevention order through 06/08/2026. Mercer Council purchase order 26-04586 carries invoice 1971 for 4,449.00, paid by check 29346 on 08/28/2026, two months after the year closed, and invoice 2007 for 6,308.00, approved and unpaid in the vendor history printed 09/01/2026. The two invoices make 10,757.00. The other 25,000.00 equals the face of the open prevention orders to Embright Education, 26-03649, and The Rescue Mission of Trenton, 26-04590. Neither shows a payment through 06/08/2026, and no vendor history was produced for either. The record shows no prevention dollar that left the account in the year.
