"We go through a really competitive hiring process, but if someone looks like they have tremendous potential and they're enthused about our employee value proposition, which has very unique supports in place for teachers, then we will help them become certified," Neyman said. "All of our teachers are on a path to becoming certified.
"It was easier than ever, I think, for us to lure some experienced teachers from other districts who were very interested in being proud of their results at the end of the year. There's nothing more gratifying than working hard and then seeing your students be successful," Neyman said.
