That's always important. Um we we are committed to doing that investigation and making sure that we follow up on any items. So ask an adult for help. I believe that we have very dedicated teachers, counselors, school administrators that want to do the right thing. I I truly do believe that or wouldn't be sitting here today. Um so um those individuals, if a student, a parent, a grandparent goes to any of those individuals, we hope what happens is that they offer a variety of resources to support um to address any concerns that you might have. If you all a student, a grandparent, a parent, a community member feels like that that has not been resolved, then what we would encourage you to do is to escalate that to the next level. Um, if a student feels that it's not been resolved, um, they can go to the school principal, to school administrators.
