Transcription Notes:
*Original report stated a total of 52 for total enrollment for the month. However breakdown by sex totals 49. The 49 count is likely true for any references to 52 throughout the report. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-08 09:26:45 please transcribe only what is on the form - do not add descriptions like "non-applicable", "not answered" or "USD" - if an entry is blank, just leave it blank on the form - and do not type out words that are abbreviated; just type the abbreviation. Also transcribe numbers as written. In the total enrollment, the 27 looks like 24, which would make one think the total was 49 instead of 52. But 52 is what should be transcribed (and is correct anyway, 25 + 27 = 52)
