>  a.. Approximately 33% of students in K thru 12 have sheltered subminimum

> They
> will remain beneficiaries of public programs, never to become fully

>  a.. Approximately 50% of workers with disabilities employed under a

> They

>  a.. Approximately 25% of workers with disabilities employed under a
