It's our understanding that ACS transfers CCBG funding to DOE for some early childhood education seats.

How much does ACS transfer to DOE each year and how is this amount determined?
Jess Dannhauser

It's it's in the range of around a hundred and $50,000,000.

This is it's not really transferring money as much as where the DOE programs qualify for CCBG.

We add that to our claim and so zero to two, extended day, those kinds of things are eligible for the child care block grant and we will, we add that to our claim and seek federal dollars for that.
