From the transcript
Um, and I just want to ask each of you to please come to one of these meetings. I don't know if they've set a date yet. It's—. There's once per quarter, but I really think it's important for you here making important decisions to come to one of these meetings to hear the parents of students that are really impacted, almost more so than other students that, you know, that might be in the general education setting. Um, and I'm going to make the same request to the Matsu assembly members that they attend one of these, um, SEAT meetings.
