We do have one school district that is back in school, and so we'll be able to, um, watch and monitor what's going on in the current school district. They certainly have very capable, competent leadership there. And so I am monitoring that situation very, very closely. Um, I do think that those individuals and an individual school districts that have opined that they want to go 100% virtual ignore the reality that that we're going to have testing that occurs in the 2020 21 school year. And so, you know, I don't think that Ah, 100% of our school districts are approaching this in exactly the right way, but we'll have more information on on the end of this week.

Although there I will also tell you that many of the same people who for years have said stay away from them and stay out of their business now are calling me asking Hey, will you please make these decisions for us. Um, it's the nature of the beast. And the one thing that I think those of you who have watched me over the next eight over the last 16 years, 17 years now we'll know is that I am not scared to make a decision. I'm gonna do what I think is best for the kids, and we'll let the politics play out.
