Got it.

It's not about the intervention and saying that the isolation of the intervention doesn't work.
1:14:02
It's that what we don't want is for that to happen when they're supposed to be in an ELA class.
1:14:06
Because then they're not going to get access to the curriculum that they need to actually be college ready or to pass a Regents exam.
1:14:13
So it's about the program and making sure that it's programmed effectively, and we're always happy to have those conversations with NYSET around credit accumulation.
