have8536.67 to8536.83 travel8536.99 to8537.4 make8537.48 sure8537.64 that8537.88 we8538.03 are8538.19 providing8538.67 the8539.07 services8539.23 in8539.64 an8539.88 equitable8540.03 fashion.8540.43 So8540.75 that's8540.83 something8541.07 that8541.31 we8541.48 have8541.64 been8541.8 looking8541.95 at,8542.19 establishing8543.4 staffing8543.95 guidelines8544.35 based8544.83 on8544.99 state8545.15

improvements.8556.97 And8559.95 so8560.75 this8561.4 is8561.64 like8561.72 one8561.88 of8562.03 those8562.11 things8562.27 that8562.51 we8562.83 talked8563.08 about.8563.4 8564.27 There's8564.27 something8565.31 we8565.31 should8565.48 put8565.72 just8566.11 like8566.35 we8566.51 do8566.67 with8566.83 curriculum8567 I'm8567.48 just8567.72 thinking8567.95 about8568.27 some8568.59 of8568.75 the8568.83 processes8568.92 that8569.4 we8569.56 already8569.64 have.8569.95 On8570.59 a8570.67 five-year8571.08 cycle,8571.24 which8571.64 program8571.88 or8572.44 which8572.68 curriculum8572.84 gets8573.4 evaluated?8573.88 And8574.44 so8574.68 if8574.84 we're8575 very8575.24 clear8575.4 about8575.64 this8575.96 is8576.12 the8576.28 year8576.36 that8576.52 we8576.68 do8576.92 a8577.08 program8577.16 evaluation8577.48 for8578.04 ISP,8578.28 or8578.68 this8578.84 is8579 the8579.08 year8579.24 that8579.4 we8579.48 do8579.64 it8579.8 for8579.88 connections8580.04 so8580.68 that8580.92 we8581.08 keep8581.24 ourselves8581.48 on8582.2 top8582.36 of8582.6 I8582.76 mean,8582.84 we8583.08 do8583.24 them.8583.4 We've8583.56 not8583.8 been8584.12 doing8584.28 them8584.44 all8584.68 along.8584.84 But8585 the8585.16 point8585.24 is8585.48 I8585.56 think8585.64 we8585.88 need8585.96 to8586.12 be8586.2 more8586.28 articulate,8586.52 transparent8587.98 about8588.3 when8588.45 they're8588.69 going8588.85 to8589.02 happen8589.02 and8589.26 how8589.5 often8589.58 they're8589.9 going8590.06 to8590.22 happen8590.22 and8590.53 who's8591.58 going8591.82 to8592.06 do8592.06 them8592.14 and8592.38 what8592.61 we're8593.18 going8593.42 to8593.42 do8593.42 in8593.5 terms8593.66 of8593.9 providing8593.98 you8594.3 with8594.45 the8594.61 information.8594.69 So8595.18 and8597.42 then8597.66 environment8598.22 and8598.85 materials.8599.02 8600.46 So8600.46 this8600.7 came8600.94 up.8601.5 It8601.66 was8601.66 very8601.82 interesting8602.06 actually8602.46 in8603.18 another8603.42 endeavor,8603.9 but8604.38 really8605.02 looking8605.26 at8605.5 our8605.66 learning8605.9 spaces8606.14 and8606.62 making8606.78 sure8607.02 that8607.26 our8607.58 environments8607.82
