Florida teachers are in bad shape when it comes to pay.
“The average Florida teacher’s salary has dropped to 50th in the country, according to a new report released by the National Education Association . . .
The Florida Education Association (FEA) has been asking lawmakers to increase funding by $2.5 billion a year for the next seven years in order to address inadequate pay, as well as to hire more mental health specialists and support the academic needs of students.
According to FEA, 77% of school districts pay a starting salary below $50,000.”
