What board members said, in order

I was, uh, went through the list. It's— there's quite a few actually, you know. And so I know we talk about our enrollment, but I think we've also though considered that it doesn't sound like there's been a real change in enrollment throughout the years as far as children going to private schools. But is, is that indeed accurate?Kevin Price · Member28:18
