"There's" can be correct. Most of the time it would stand for there are, however one can say, "There is one reason." IOW, there's.

I have looked up the problem with using 911's as the plural noun instead of 911s, even though it's not possessive. It seems that in writing there's (see?) some clarity given with the use of the apostrophe.

I'm there'd (like that?) be debate in English class.
