From the transcript
So the net result out of all those position corrections is about $70,000. Typically this happens one or two times a year. We do have— we go through our budget like even after we completed it, try to find any errors or omissions, and sometimes we can correct them administratively, sometimes we can't, but we wanted to do this, make it above board, put it in the memo just because we could and get that all settled. The English language arts curriculum, about $2.8 million is needed for the 6 through 10 adoption, as Dr. Bryant said, and we'll go into some other options of how to pay for that and when to pay for it here shortly on the next slide. The activities addenda, that was one where we had, uh, cut all the sports and left some of the activities money in there.
