MS. KEMPSTER: -- LINK AMERICAS Foundation and myself are representing them on the advisory committee, worked with multiple organizations around the state in a convening role, so to speak. It was a coalition effort where we developed the framework itself, and then brought together assessment providers, educators, the business sector that, you know, requires these on the job skills and so forth.
And we were able to come up with a consensus document, so to speak, that has now evolved into what the -- has been released as the California action plan, which I think is just really terrific, because I think it puts California out front nationally on this, because we’re the first state to have done such a comprehensive level. And it puts us in the role of being leaders on the international scale because it’s in compliance with what I said before. Many, many countries are doing this same kind of thing.
So we’re really proud collectively of the effort that we’ve done in California on the plan.
