Letter: Easy way to solve teacher shortage

Although I don't agree with your editorials often, I am in total agreement with one from May 25 - "Again, a teacher shortage." You demonstrate that you understand the environment that Clark County teachers face on a daily basis.

However, I would like to note and to suggest to George Ann Rice, the School District's assistant superintendent for human resources, that instead of doubling the recruiting trips and other unnecessary expenditures, shouldn't they consider using that money to pay teachers more, which would increase teacher loyalty to stay in the profession in the district as well as luring teachers from other areas?
