Please don't go to this website and report your local Christian private schools. And definitely don't use a LLM to generate fake reports for this form. And absolutely don't upload random large files that might fill up disk space on their server. That maximum 10mb file limit is a lie.

Air Force One Costs: estimated $800,000 – $1,000,000.
Presidential Motorcade & Transport: estimated $200,000 – $500,000
