Yes, we do, Mr. Speaker. The student needs survey, which was conducted and completed several months ago, did a complete survey of 9,000 students in the school system. I believe it was 2,500 who had individual assessments done and of that number, we learned that the medical diagnosis for FAS/FAE numbered only one percent, only 42 individuals, but that was the medical diagnosis. That is what we have to go by because we have no way of being the judge of who is FAS/FAE. It is an area where the educators are not allowed to make the diagnosis. It requires a medical diagnosis. Thank you.
