I'm not sure if any other county does it but Broward County, FL has something called a "Hazard Bonus". Basically, any teacher willing to teach at a school that is an "F" school in the not-so-good part of town is awarded this bonus upon signing. Not sure of the $ amount but I know of quite a few people who took up Broward County's offer.
