debate. in chicago schools are closed. what s is like to get all those tests to all those families? it s amazing. i m proud of our team, homeland security, technology folks, you name it. what it dc we believe in-person learning is best and we ll do everything possible to make that happen. i want to thank our teachers who have worked with us hand-in-hand throughout this pandemic. to make sure we can get back in the classroom. we have our public school system of about 100,000 kids, half of them are in dc public schools and another portion are in our public charter schools.
