That is why I am making it a top priority to get that money invested quickly, efficiently, and in a way that ensures accountability and integrity. I want every child in New Jersey to walk into a school that is safe, secure, and sound. New Jersey teachers are doing everything they can to make this happen. Now we should do everything we can to help our teachers. That's why I will be directing the new Commissioner of Education to work with the Legislature this spring to create the very best teacher training, retention, and recruitment program in the nation.
New Jersey is already the best place in which to live, work, and raise a family.
Let's also make it the best place to teach a child. There can be no question that the key to a better life for each new generation lies in education. And while my own children are grown, I will continue to take a personal interest in our classrooms by visiting schools as I have done throughout my career. And I'm pleased that Martin is with us today. Thank you, Martin.
