Starting Florida teacher pay should rise to $47,500, Gov. DeSantis says
New teachers in Florida would earn among the highest paid in the country under a plan Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday.
The minimum starting salaries for teachers would rise from a state average of $37,636 to $47,500, which would vault the state from 26th in teacher starting pay to as high as second, under a budget proposal the governor discussed at Bayview Elementary in Fort Lauderdale.
