So, I have no idea how fast Cmerford will come through through the state. Um but in the meantime, um you have heard Doug Suellan speak numerous times at the school committee when I was deciding not to attend school committee in the past. And I would just echo that it's going to take a whole lot of communities pulling together to try to deal with the lack of money that the state will not fund. When the state says we need title this and title that and we need special needs, then that is critical that we have to figure out where where is that money coming from or do you want to just scrap the IEP program which is not going to work. Um we have more and more kids in great need as a result of the remote learning as we all know and uh you know there may be kids with lots of emotional needs even though and they've just gone backwards in so many ways.
