I would disagree with kind of how they did it, but we wanted to make sure if we're putting more money into this, that it's actually going into teachers pockets. So We created a special budget categorical where I think we started with like 3,400 million, and it could only be used for teacher salaries. And we started with the average minimum because we were at 39,000. We're now at almost 51,000 average minimum salary in the state of Florida. (10:40–10:51)
