DOLLAR DAZE - WE DON'T COUNT LIKE THIS IN POETRY

I don't always see so well and I've only got a back woods edumaction. It looks to me like an almost $600,000 increase in the staffing line of the the Special Education budget with no increase in the number of staff. Surely it's my mistake in looking at it. That seems like a lot of money for the same amount of people..Poets don't usually work with numbers.
