Like I said, its driven by parents (as is regular education). The parents have to feel its important, and that importance has to be translated through the bishops or priests to the congregation.

I would rather deal with a hundred ravenous wolves than sully myself with one dishonest man. The wolves are honest, straightforward and you know what it is they want. The battle is hard fought but open and free. The dishonest man though, he is a thing, like Cain, that should be shunned, exiled.

Bribery?
Bribery barely works with the kids. I don't give much hope that it would help with the adults...

I will probably write a letter to our new bishop.

I can't even pretend to be well informed enough to make that assumption.
Please ask me what I believe before telling me what I believe. Hint- start here: http://lds.org/scriptures/

You might try asking on a Catholic forum if you haven't already to see if anyone there has had any success and what their methods were...
When you climb up a ladder, you...begin at the bottom...ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top...so it is with the principles of the Gospel--you must begin with the first...go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation. But it will be a great while after you have passed through the veil before you will have learned them. It is not all to be comprehended in this world. Joseph Smith

We caught the overflow of Irish priests when they were abundant and now we've caught the overflow of Asian and Black priests in our diocese. It's upon the laity to be involved. Of course, that requires to have parents to be involved which is the crux of the matter.
Invite them to become involved then.
"It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has things for you to do that you won't know about now, but that will unfold later. If you stay close to Him, you will have some great adventures. You will live in a time when instead of just talking about prophecies that will sometime be fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit."- Elder Neal A. Maxwell
