Alright.

Just one more quick question.
0:59:40
I think the schools that CUNY runs like Hunter Signers and others are excellent.
0:59:44
Are you planning to do how many students do you have in those schools?
0:59:48
And are you planning to take over more schools because CUNY does a great job?
Félix Matos Rodríguez

We continue to partner with the Department of Education.
0:59:56
I don't think that we are foreseeing taking over additional schools.
1:00:01
There might be opportunities with some of the early college funding that the state has made available for additional opportunities there.
1:00:08
Right?
1:00:09
And we're very proud of the 19 schools that we have that we have there.
1:00:15
You know, we're also partnering one in in the new space in in SPARTS.
1:00:20
So we want to continue to do some more.
1:00:22
Maybe not necessarily taking, you know, control of the schools but in partnership
Daniel Redden
1:00:26
Partnership.
Félix Matos Rodríguez

With the and also really, really expanding Future Ready, College Now, all those are great pipeline programs in which we are de facto teaching the next generation of teaching.
1:00:36
So thank you for your support.
