Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There were two aspects to the funding increases for school support. One was for the pupil-teacher ratio, and we are on target with that at 16.5:1. We brought it down from 18:1. Next year it will go to 16:1. Additionally, we decided we would increase funding for student support. That would increase from 8 percent to 15 percent. That is being done this year to increase to 15 percent. That is support in the classroom for special needs and student support areas. Thank you.
