- The DOE supports baselining the popular program and will continue to advocate for it

Actually are just releasing that analysis today.
2:51:41
I believe it just went up on our website this morning.

We will share that with you, and we're happy to arrange a briefing to talk you through what the impact looks like.
2:51:48
I know we talked earlier about the early impact from last year.
2:51:50
This is stronger, including for our most vulnerable students, so we're really glad to see it, and we can do a briefing on that if you'd like.
2:51:57
In terms of the baselining question, as with many other programs, we would support baselining this very popular program and we'll continue to advocate.
