1, can you just tell us how many seats we're expecting in that in that high school?

And second, as I talk to parents and they hear about, new school building open up, I think for the many young parents, the first thing they ask is about new pre k, 3 k opportunities in the area in in where I live in Stuyvesantown.

Been a lot of discussion about trying to convert existing programs that are not universal 3 k pre k programs into pre k, something people are very eager to have.
1:18:21
We've talked about it with you.
1:18:22
