So I want to talk about the RFP process and go through the timeline. I also want to start off by saying that please know that this was a process taken very very seriously and that the job is to really provide high quality programming at the highest level that we can provide while also being fiscally responsible and looking for providers who perhaps can do things for us that we didn't know were out there.

But even with the savings, we're getting more services for our students. That's that's the key here. So, yeah, I don't want the money to overshadow, right? We are getting we are getting um it's cost reductive but we're getting more services that's going to benefit our students in the long run which is and I love that their contracts are the the the Lincoln contract was so explicit as to the certifications and expertise that their individuals have to have.

Uh yeah, I'll I'll incorporate K&L both just because it's kind of the same as general theme. Number one, uh, just looking at the titles of these, I would think that's something that would fall into the purview and capability of our existing solicitor who I'm sure is familiar with Title 9 and I'm sure familiar with labor and employment issues.

Um however, most all districts in addition to a board solicitor do take on the roles uh and and do take on work with a standalone labor attorney. Um, we rely on on labor attorneys because, you know, we we do work in a in a very highly regulated environment. Um, and some of the the complex issues that we come across, especially with contracts and and employment situations, employee relations, maintaining compliance with PTE, it helps districts to reduce risk.

Um, obviously we will I I I hear you and we will continue to honor and try to use Bucks County firms um while also being cost prohibitive. That's why we we are putting this on there and it's really essential for some of the work that we're doing in order to move some of the work forward to have that labor attorney.
