The last piece that I'll say the the last question that I'll ask and I know this was in your testimony.
1:11:33
Is there any specific information you can give us on special needs students and their ability on 13th to, like, fully get on.
1:11:44
Is there I don't know if you already covered that.
1:11:46
I apologize if you did, but just curious if there was any special attention played in those in sentences to those students.
1:11:53
I know there was a whole plan with superintendent, so I'm assuming there was more touch bases, but I just wanna hear on the record if there was any additional efforts once you realize there was an issue with special needs students.

So One of the things that we could say is that our schools, our superintendent principals and teachers did a tremendous job in making sure that the needs of the students in each particular school were met.
1:12:29
So in terms of any student, when we did our tests to make sure that students could log on both in school and at home.

Any child that was having difficulty either school leaders or teachers would reach out to the students and their families to make sure that they were ready to log on on that day.
