DOLLAR DAZE - ONE FOR THE PRICE OF TWO

The Special Education Department must really strive to take the concerns of parents seriously, at least that's what the numbers say. Wait numbers can't talk so what does that mean? There is the word "parent" in two line items in this year's budget.

First there is a "LS Parent Coordinator" that comes straight out of the budget at $58, 181 a year. I must protest ignorance here because I have no idea what this person does but I'm just a poor, disabled poet.

Then we have a "Parent Liaison" at $52,031 annually. That money comes from some magical grant. LPS was so concerned about us parents that they kept the position vacant for around two years. Where did the budgeted money go? I don't know, they don't have a line item for that.
