Okay.

Because our questions are for students in temporary housing and disabilities.
0:47:05
So not students in temporary housing with disabilities.
0:47:09
So are you telling me that the 5000 number are for students who are in DHL DHS shelters and also have disabilities or with IEPs, because I'm looking for the overall number.
