Do we have to pay to keep our spot?

It’s actually not better as these checks take weeks to receive even though the process has been streamlined.

Thanks. I wasn’t trying to suggest that a furlough wasn’t better for the employees.

Other than laying that out, were there other things discussed?

Over the last couple of days, the owner did a couple of zoom calls with the parents. I wanted to be able to attend one, but couldn't due to working and watching the kids.

Can anyone report back what he said? Could you get a sense of what parents are planning on doing re tuition? I am not sure how his previous letter indicating he was laying off staff because they would be better off given the unemployment increase affects what we plan to do.
