especially in these schools like mlk, so i sort of question that role. i mean, i think that 32,000 is a small grant and i think that it is reasonable to look at for a year and then we reevaluate it and i think that we should be sure and be cautious that we are looking to in our school district retain, teachers in the classroom, and so that they will see it as a career and commit to our classrooms and especially in those schools that need ak celebrated learning, you know? and the students who have the most challenges and so i know that we have many teachers and the relationships, and with the tsa teachers they do not say and they stay in the world of education, but they are not particularly seen in the classroom, which is what i think that we need help with too. and where we looked at our human resources and i think that i spoke to mr. bush man about this, and it was. we looked at these and it is different if they had it down, but we don't have it down and i don't think that they have it down really. so i think that is why we are going to give them a gran
