Thank you.
2:38:31
I just wanna quickly add on to what chair Stevens says.
2:38:33
Are you also engaging community boards?
2:38:35
Because they also is another vehicle in getting messaging does New York City public school work on curbing, subway, surfing come out of a New York City public school budget?
2:38:49
Is there a line budget for that?
Mark Rampersant
2:38:53
Mic check.
2:38:56
There's not a budget for that.
2:38:59
I will I definitely know that with our collaborative efforts to extend this campaign, there will definitely be a cost that goes with that, especially since we are utilizing the kindness of our schools to make this come to fruition.
2:39:14
And, while principal Max in art and design and others did an impeccable job of of working with our external partnerships, We know that the school is doing it on their budget, and we can't have that be the case.
2:39:26
So going forward, that is definitely one of the things that we're looking into.
Rita Joseph
2:39:30
So if the so there's no dollar amount attached to your marketing outreach that's done all pro bono and using resources within New York City public schools.
2:39:39
So you are you gonna be making a budget request this year concerning subway service?
