We were really trying to help teachers–trying to bring arts to the classroom to find others ways of reaching the kids.

We're trying to help the county get the workforce, ... If you have courses for student teachers in Charlotte County, they're more likely to stay in Charlotte County after they graduate.

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

There's not enough teachers for every classroom that we have.

I've seen teachers label just about everything in the classroom. And they'll put up a bulletin board that represents the different cultures in their classroom. That makes the child feel accepted.

What would need to happen, even if we waited a year, the teachers would have to get into the classroom and practice what they learned.
