"A unique feature of this proposed RET is the recruitment of two teachers from selected schools within the district--an educational specialist in the core sciences and one in career and technical education. Neither will receive training prior to the RET program. The educational specialist's experience will be especially useful in planning and designing curricula."<br /><br />It's not a lot shorter, but it is more concise. If that isn't short enough, you could remove "from selected schools within the district". Let me know how short it needs to be if that is still way too long.
