Yeah.
2:48:55
We would love to see that as well.
2:48:56
So is it possible you could provide a number of students receiving direct services through due process including vouchers for the last ten years?
2:49:03
Can you provide that to us?
Liz Vladek
2:49:05
So we don't have for the last ten years we can talk about our data systems and their updates and challenges.
2:49:12
However, I can tell you, I can give you those numbers for the last three years and I just, I'll break it down by services and tuition, but I just want to note that some students receive both and so it's not additive, if that makes sense.
2:49:28
In school year twenty two-twenty three, '14 thousand '5 hundred and '20 '1 students received direct services, 6,739 students we made tuition payments for.
2:49:41
In school year twenty three-twenty four, nine 820 students received direct services.
2:49:47
This is all via due process cases while 6,501 students received, we paid tuition for them.
2:49:57
Here are this year's numbers which of course are going to continue to go up, the year's not over, but I do think that this trend will hold on the services side.
2:50:06
We're down to 2,503 students this year receiving services via due process claims and 3,859 students receiving tuition payments via Carter case.
