Comment, president sanchez. Sorry, go ahead. Thank you very much. On behalf of the Community Advisory committee for special education, i wanted to make a few comments here. Weve commented not only on the Student Assignment, but at the september 14th meeting for the Budget Service committee, where we saw the transportation presentation.

There was a question about this at the public hearing and in the and in the previous draft of the learning continuity plan and we had highlighted that we were pending clarification from the c. D. E. About the actions and expenditures. So i just wanted to take a moment to clarify, to explain that clarification, and the response that we have received. So we wanted to confirm that the actions and the expenditures that are at the bottom of each major section of the plan, we wanted to make sure that we were approaching that process correctly. And so the clarification that we received is that we should be considering both learning loss mitigation funds and lcff funds in our plan. But we do not need to include all of both of those sources. It is up to our discretion, the extent to which we include those funds. But thos
