In the application, do you have questions like show and then take of the I'm trying to get the best way to understand the enrollment process because now I'm hearing that A lot of folks may I mean, they did the application.
1:30:37
They want the children together.
1:30:38
And the percentage of attendance according to my colleagues right now, the question they ask, not attending.
1:30:44
Do we have a question where there's kind of like How could I like like the follow-up, how you're gonna do the commitment, those other things in the questioning to make sure that we're taking it to the people that needed the most because you have a waiting list, and you have people out there that wanna be in the program.

1:31:02
Thank you so much.
1:31:04
We do have a period where we are heavily reaching out to families to accept their offer.
1:31:11
And in fact, the process of accepting the offer is a vital piece.
1:31:15
We worked in collaboration with the YCET to say, hey, aycd.
1:31:20
What aspects of the enrollment are their gaps?
Rita C. Joseph
1:31:22
Mhmm.
Angela Faloye
1:31:23
We learned that aycd requires a supplemental form information on the supplemental form such as allergies, such as emergency contacts.
1:31:33
So we put that in an enrollment system.
1:31:35
So when you get your offer, we heavily outreach that you must accept that offer.
1:31:41
So let us know you are coming.
1:31:42
When you accept that offer, you must put in informations needed by the YCDC bills such as emergency contact and allergy.
1:31:51
So that processes there, but after I set him period, to also take into account for families who might not have access to Internet for families of vulnerable students.
1:32:02
After a set same period, we auto accept.
1:32:05
But initially, when you get your offer, in that offer letter now, invites office of student enrollment to please follow-up.
1:32:14
In that offer, we are saying, we need to know if you are coming or not, and you must accept that offer by a certain day, but again, to account for various family situations.
1:32:25
After that certain date, we auto accept for everybody.
1:32:29
We don't say because you did not accept your offer.
1:32:32
Your offer is invalid.
1:32:34
Okay.
1:32:35
