   quote[0] = "&quot;We can maintain our state’s prosperity and ensure a bright future for our children tomorrow if we make a commitment to keeping good teachers in the classroom today.&quot; <br> -- Kathleen Sebelius, former Kansas Governor";
quote[1] = "&quot;A historic turnover is taking place in the teaching profession. While student enrollments are rising rapidly, more than a million veteran teachers are nearing retirement (nationwide). Experts predict that overall we will need more than 2 million new teachers in the next decade.&quot; <br>— National Education Association";
quote[2] = "&quot;Our nation will not be able to maintain its position as a global leader in business, science, technology and countless other fields without a well-educated workforce. And our children will not be ready to succeed in that workforce without quality teachers.&quot; <br>— Kathleen Sebelius, former Kansas Governor";
quote[3] = "&quot;This teacher recruitment problem, which has reached crisis proportions in some areas, is most acute in urban and rural schools; for high-need subject areas such as special education, math and science, and for teachers of color.&quot; <br> — National Education Association";
quote[4] = "&quot;Growing up, I gained a special appreciation for teachers and the work they do. Both of my parents and two of my grandparents were teachers, and I married into a family of teachers... They, like most teachers, viewed teaching as a calling, and they devoted their lives to educating children.&quot; <br>— Kathleen Sebelius, former Kansas Governor";
quote[5] = "&quot;With an aging teaching force, mandated class size reductions, and the swelling numbers of immigrants and baby boomer children, U.S. schools will need an unprecedented number of new teachers over the next decade. Between 2 million and 2.5 million — an average of more than 200,000 annually — new teachers will be needed.&quot; <br>— National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF)";
quote[6] = "&quot;We’re preparing our state for the future by giving Kansas kids access to good schools in every community. But Kansas and the nation as a whole are facing a new challenge when it comes to educating our children: too many good teachers are leaving the profession.&quot; <br>— Kathleen Sebelius, former Kansas Governor";
quote[7] = "&quot;The statistics for turnover among new teachers are startling. Some 20 percent of all new hires leave the classroom within three years. In urban districts, the numbers are worse — close to 50 percent of newcomers flee the profession during their first five years of teaching.&quot; <br>— National Education Association";
