And I'm speaking to the mic because we couldn't hear you.
0:55:06
So how many staffs would have been laid off at each of these sites if they were closed and how many students would have been impacted?
Simone Hawkins

Give me one second chair, I'm sorry I do have that data for you.
0:55:24
So we have about it's my understanding we have about 200 students who would have been impacted across these sites.
0:55:36
Again, the capacity is almost 500.
0:55:39
They've been below capacity across all five of the sites and many of the children that are currently enrolled about half of the currently enrolled population are transitioning to kindergarten and so they wouldn't have been impacted by the non renewal of these leases.
0:55:52
So can you give them
