In terms of this financial plan, I think you all are you all projecting a loss of 2708 more full time teachers over the next 2 years?

1:34:40

And how is that gonna work if what we've talked about today so far is the need for more teachers?

Dan Weisberg

1:34:50

I'm I'm not we'd we'd have to check.

1:34:52

I'm not sure.

Don't wanna totally dispense with with the the human into this.

1:35:07

That's not our HR projection necessarily.

1:35:10

So we'd have to analyze that and see where that number comes from.

Shekar Krishnan

1:35:13

Okay.

1:35:13

Because there is that tension.

1:35:14

Obviously, if you're projecting less and you know, the need for more teachers.
