And and out of all of those of these students, how many and what percentage are not receiving at least one of their mandated services?

So as deputy chancellor, testified testified, we've continued to make progress towards full service and, not where we need to be.
2:20:18
And so, as as of last year, 92% of students were receiving all of their mandated programs.
2:20:26
In terms of all related services, we were at about 95%.
2:20:30
But in terms of the specific number of students, that did not receive at least one service, so all of their recommended programs, all of their recommended services, speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy, that number was 23,906.
2:20:44
That's 12.9 percent of of the of the And
Rita Joseph
2:20:47

99% of of students are receiving at least one service.
