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
Yeah.
1:34:50
I'm I'm not we'd we'd have to check.
1:34:52
I'm not sure.

But I'm not sure exactly what I'm sure that number is in the reflected in the financial plan.
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.
