The reason that came up so it was there is status transition they did not to be an mp a we had agreements with family made with those services that supplied so in order to actually go forward with our promises we had to convert them to a professional Service Agreement we wrote it as a retrofit were in a condition we had those comments not a retroactive but to contract. So the limited ballot is still a provider that we recognize and there are going to continue to do do service theyre just switching their status im sure clear what what is different from they were before to who they are now. Theyve not changed ultimately but how they stand with the department of ed not a Nonpublic Agency that is a different contract. So theyre providing the same service not as a theyre not an mta. That would be helpful maybe a little bit more clear next time it looks like theyre no longer a eligible serve provider. So hopefully it will not come up again. Just to fairness to staff until we have the agreement we didnt release theyre a certificate but swifrpd over to the psa status on the contract. Thank you ms. Eng and ms. Zaragoza mr. Cook mr.
