The aspiration is to develop personalized letters for students with intellectual disabilities as part of a broad support system.
- Personalized letters are intended to inform students with intellectual disabilities about postsecondary options.
- The current communication system includes a tiered letter system signed by both chancellors, aiming for inclusivity.
- There's an intention to enhance personalization in communications, particularly for students with different educational credentials.
- Future plans include assessing pre-12th grade messaging and tailoring communications more effectively.

Are is there any movement to get them personalized letters to see to to really see all the different programs Acuni has, not just for students who have 70 or above, 69 or below, but recognizing the different diplomas that a student may leave high school with the different credentials they may leave high school with.

It's a message that signed by both chancellors, which other other school systems and other states had had had chosen a different approach or had sent a message from the state or a message from the university chancellor.

We were very intentional about how do we send the most inclusive message.
1:32:56
And so in in thinking about that, there there's there's much farther down the that we're looking forward to traveling both to our council member.

Here's former point, previous point about before 12th grade.
1:33:08
What's your messaging in communications look like, and how do we continue to tailor.

And right now, the the letter is a companion to the set of advisers resources and advising in 2 different programs at CUNY, SUNY, and higher education that we offer to schools.
