TEACHERS: Find, reward the best

| August 22, 2014 9:00 PM

The student should come first!

We have outstanding teachers and there are many teachers desiring to move to Coeur d’Alene.

Send the NEA packing, drop tenure, seek the best teachers and institute performance based pay.

Expect more, pay more.

Teaching “individual responsibility” to students is important; A Health Savings Account Insurance program is better for the teacher and district and only requires “individual responsibility.”

Our state needs to fork out more for education, we need to lessen the heavy burden of levies, but most of all, we need to inspire a new generation. Let’s be the first “Right to Teach” state by finding and rewarding the best teachers.
