Gutiérrez asks if anyone has feedback from 2K providers on rates. Tara Gardner says providers appreciate increased funding and extended year default, and their network is at 94% capacity.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

And just for, actually anybody can answer it, but has anyone been in contact with any of the 2K providers that are in the pilot and kind of any feedback that they've shared about the rates that they've been receiving, any of that stuff?

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Maybe you, maybe you, take your time.

We're probably, I think the other day was 94%.

capacity in large part because of conversion to 2K seats.

And that they are extended to extended year by default is the best part, I think, for families.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Excellent.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

All right.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Well, thank you all so much.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Oh, sorry, Gail.
