And that's where I think, again, it will be very helpful for us just asking us what to do or make this decision. We want to try to be in line with you, and this is where it's been the challenge, is not really understanding fully what you're trying— what are your goals in the sense of primary versus tertiary, but also how you want these things balanced. So we can then take that because we basically have to decide if we fund ASD, that leaves us— and I'm just working off of $5 million, uh, give or take That leaves $3 million, which greatly changes how we put money out. Or we don't fund ASD, they don't have funding to fill that in. That's 8 classrooms with 100-plus, maybe 200-plus, I don't know, kids that would then lose that preschool.
