We've been trying a.

Lot before we run.

So we got this bill across the finish line and that was hard enough.

So I'm not saying we're not looking at it, but but we it's in the mix.

But but that's maybe step three or four for us.

I think I can state this as a member of the legislature kind of overall feeling, because we've had the same discussion on early childhood development, expanding the budget to that.

I think a lot of the feeling is, hey, let's let's take care of what we're already responsible for first and then we can talk about that.

Because if you talk about funding and you go into early childhood, it's an extra three or $400 million to the budget.

Now, I don't think you were talking about a full scale expansion.

You were talking about just pushing some of this down to the lower levels.

We're open.

I think I can speak for co-chair Tip and we're open to new ideas any way possible that we can get.

Get kids started early.

He spoke earlier.

Well, we've been in discussions with with book companies, too, where, you know, let's say you're not getting what you need from the parents.

Maybe the state does a contract where that kid receives a new book each month.

So it's powerful.

Just that idea of this book is mine.

I own this book and it opens up the door for them to start reading and get interested in reading.

So I would be 100% on board for something like that.

And that that is something that you could definitely go down to three, four or five years old if the state want to do that.

So.

So we don't have any concrete things, but we're definitely not opposed to.

One of the issues with this component in early childhood is what we're talking about starting with K through fifth and maybe on up to eight.

Is there politics schools where we just talked about where the superintendent will select a common curriculum like Jefferson County just did in your early childhood, in your preschool, You've got Head Start, you've got the local county, the local district preschool program.

You have private, you have parochial, you have daycare.

There's no commonality there.

I'm not saying we can't get to there, but but that's just the essence of where we are right now.

But you are right.

When a child's a child's vocabulary, when they enter school is so critical and the key to improving a child's vocabulary is having parents and adults who are reading to those children.

So we've got a lot of work to do in the space.

Well, I add that our not our office at the Katy, but the Office of Special Education and Early Learning is offering our preschool early learning the letters training for early childhood so that that was offered.

They started with our first cohort and then think the registration is open for their second cohort.

So that common language of that common training is happening now and.
