In a story released by the Salt Lake Tribune (posted on NCEA website), Assistant Superintendent Ray Timothy told the state Board of Education that “We need to do whatever we can to attract, retain and reward quality teachers.”

In an almost Ben Franklinesque moment, Timothy responds:

Financial incentives for high-demand positions and rewards for classroom success could be the ticket.

As the Great Vizzini once said (over, and over, and over again), inconceivable!
