“the key takeaway is it's an outstanding rating one of the top two uh that we have in the last two years now we do follow up with those that say some or very few and say what students what type of students learning needs are not being met it is the underachiever it's the struggling student”

“a question on the Texas um because this is their statement that it wasn't asked correct where you gave them choices this is their statement they didn't necessarily differentiate between the high taxes related to the school district versus the overall tax bur that their experience in property tax”
