During the unveiling of the amount of the cash prize, Foley asked Colin Hiatt if he thought $250 (the amount displayed at that point) would be an adequate reward for the winning teacher. "That would be enough for me," he said, "but it's not enough for our teachers who help prepare us for our futures."
