<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Mr.
Hansen says:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>"<st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State> must become (and
remain) competitive in retaining quality<br>
teachers.<br>
If I were a recent graduate of the UI College of Education, I would<br>
stick<br>
around the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State>
schools just long enough to attain experience (fatten<br>
my<br>
resume') and move on to a more lucrative school district, say . . . in<br>
<st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State> . . . or <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:State>."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The thing
is, that is the OPPOSITE of what happens. Looking at local hires in the school
district just this year (in the <st1:place w:st="on">School District</st1:place>
newsletter I just recieved) note a single hire at the junior high (the only
hires listed) were local. Perhaps you read this as well? I know my family
did, and was NOT happy. Students must move away from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> in order to gain enough experience to
even THINK of getting hired here. And it's not just <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>When I
graduated from the UI College of Education in May 2003, ONE job was open in
North Central Idaho. ONE. And it was at Bovill Elementary. The
second closest was a music education teacher in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Avery</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">ID.</st1:State></st1:place>
