I think that financial incentives for teachers in New Orleans would motivate qualified teacher to move to the area. Providing rental subsidies and annual bonuses would assist school staff members with the pricey cost of living in New Orleans. However, after reviewing the article I was left with the question of how this bill would be distributed equally. Will current school staff members receive the same bonuses? If teachers continue their career in New Orleans, will they continue to receive money from the state? Despite my lingering questions, this bill seems like a great incentive for teachers everywhere.
