I would say at least 80% goes to teachers, goes to salaries. And then we are not a new building. Example, you know, we had a plumbing issue, completely unexpected, and that is $10,000. Bye. And nevermind, you know, the normal air conditioning. We live in Texas. Our air conditioning is running, I would say easily nine months of the year. And when it's not, the heat is running.

She remembers when she first heard about Prop A. I cried because I think having, just having a proposition on the ballot that has to do with early childhood is huge. This is huge. Why is it huge?
