10:40 pm
what actually, the ascertainment that were done said school districts so for the most part z did exactly what the state told them to do we're getting poor marks for telling me what they were told to do ems this really effects the pack in our outreach we felt i think on the believed we went beyond what was required we had a good foundation with the work like the budget and the participation level and the facilitating outreach with other partners so i'm kind of interested to hear back from you after you go through the meeting about kind of what generally parent think about that because i know that we are and i'm pleased we're addressing this on

10:43 pm
think i'm very interested and i think we did a fairly good job in having a reality based discussion in the el cap with the resources and some notable exceptions that were unadorable by mostly i think we did okay. i'm interested in making that kind of discussion deeper not tossing it away as an el cap not doing the things we can't do i'm hoping you report book to the meeting about the kind of questions and how their discussed with other people that are committed to the outreach thank you. >> response or are you good okay. cool thank you for your work and report. >> public comment on content
