The University of Nebraska-Lincoln offers a program to help teachers get a master's degree or special education endorsement and Sally Giittinger, campus administrator, and her staff use it as a recruitment tool.  In areas where no qualified teachers are available, teachers from the Nebraska City school travel and fill the gap, she said.
