Thank you, Madam Chair. Absolutely, communication is something we need to work on with this, and we need to work with our partners, the DEAs, on doing this. I want to be clear, though. I will not support this government just saying there will be no more social passing, period. There are children out there, and my niece is one of them who has disabilities to the point that she will never be sitting behind these chairs. She will have obstacles for the rest of her life. She is so proud she got a completion certificate, so she is holding that up. She cannot get a job, but she has that. So there are children, is what I am saying, Madam Chair, who, if you hold them back, will stay in grade kindergarten, JK, for the rest of their lives. Is that fair to our students? So there has to be an informed decision by parents. We need to do better communicating, but we also have to make sure that we are not losing the most marginalized of our children in this new way of doing business. Thank you, Madam Chair.
