R. Castillo: Looks like we will break even at zero and hopefully not go into the negative.
L. Alvarado: "Help me understand, we receive 40% salary 80% for support/social services, sounds more than a 100%. How does this work to 100%."
R. Castillo, min. 40% instructional, within the 80% part of the instructional percent is added in.
L. Alvarado: "Teacher to student ratio at MYA is 13 to 1, not (25 to 1), the future is looking at cuts."
