We are quite open as far as what would satisfy teachers,

I've had teachers come up to me and keep track on a semester basis making sure that I want to stick with the major.

If you've ever been in a classroom, you know these teachers are underpaid.

I was always the kid in school that teachers were getting after to be quiet. My report card had math, A, reading, A, spelling, A, science, A, conduct, F. I was always talking to somebody. They would always take me and put me over in a corner by myself.

Affordable housing is a major issue here. Last year, the school district had some teachers back out of contracts because they could not afford to live here.

We have to compete for the best teachers. We don't have enough money to compete very effectively, and so we've got to be creative.
