I remember discussing maintenance of effort requirements in class, so I think shifting costs to parents might not be allowed.

Outsourcing special needs services to a private contractor seems like it could be risky in terms of maintaining quality and meeting legal requirements. I'll need to think that one through.

This seems like a straightforward security question. I think the simplest approach would be to implement a sign-in sheet at the main entrance to track who is coming in and out of the building.

I'm a little confused by this question. The wording is a bit tricky, and I'm not super familiar with the `mysqlrouter --bootstrap` command. I think I'll eliminate the options that don't seem quite right, and then take an educated guess between the remaining ones. Gotta love exam questions like this!

Okay, I think I've got a good strategy here. The key is to run a test first to see how the workload handles simulated maintenance events. Based on the results, I'll choose either preemptible N1 Standard VMs (option A) or regular N1 Standard VMs (option B). Can't go wrong with that approach.
