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.

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

They don't want to lay off teachers, we don't want to lay off teachers, and we're trying to cut our losses both of us.

Teachers are doing assessments already. We are trying to fill the gaps now. We're not waiting until December to fill gaps.

Anytime that we can help the teachers in any way monetarily we should. Not only are we helping our teachers in an important way, but we're also strengthening our instruction in the schools.

We were lagging behind. We saw that there wasn't even accessible data to teachers that would help them raise test scores in the district. We needed to upgrade the technology.
