In Central Florida, educators make a point of providing a world-class public education for every child. As they enter contract negotiations for the 2025-2026 school year, they stress that the stakes extend beyond salaries, impacting the future of public schools. Florida ranks 50th in the nation for average teacher pay, with state leaders diverting funds to private schools through an unregulated voucher scheme. “Teachers deserve to live with dignity,” they assert, calling for local school boards to prioritize funding for educators and improve working conditions.
