And have you heard from parents if they have any concerns about the kind of information that's being asked?
2:54:40
For the screening or to even set up their profile?
Shelby Lohr
2:54:43
Yes.
2:54:43
Absolutely.
2:54:44
There are a number of families, particularly migrant families that are concerned when they're applying.
2:54:49
For example, if they need to provide information about who lives in their household or any details about birth certificates or they're very afraid that they might give away somebody else in their family or any other kind of information that they don't wanna apply at all.
2:55:05
And also, it's just a little complicated with too many different places to apply.
2:55:10
You don't know how to do it.
2:55:11
And sometimes you can just say, well, I'll just try to figure something else out because it's it's too invasive and it's too confusing.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
2:55:17
That happens that happens often.
2:55:18
Shelby, thank you so much.
2:55:19
Thank you for your time.
2:55:20
Bye.
2:55:20
I appreciate it.
