I can’t speak to the legality of it.  I don’t know the pros and cons.  And I think that it seemed to me that it worked.  And I don’t know how the numbers increased pretty quickly, but clearly, I think you shut down a high school and bring people over, I mean, that was — it didn’t look like there was a lot of thought to that.  They just shut a school and open a school.  You would think you’d almost say, “All right, here are the records, here’s the fastest sprinter,” there’d be some records or something.  They could have done a lot to have brought that culture into the high school to be part of the high school.  Because they were part of the high school.  And so, I didn’t see any of that.  And so, clearly, I think they could have done a lot more thought on that on how they closed it down, but I can’t speak to the legality of it.  I think it worked itself out over a few years.  I can’t speak to the legality.
