Florida to focus on improving teacher pay, commissioner Richard Corcoran says
Suggesting that teacher pay is not on par with other degreed professionals, Florida Department of Education officials on Wednesday called for more money to go into educator salaries.
“Teacher compensation is going to be a huge component of the agenda going forward,” education commissioner Richard Corcoran told the Board of Education during a meeting at Polk State College.

Tampa Bay’s public school districts manage multi-billion dollar budgets that shape the education and well-being of over 500,000 students, support more than 50,000 employees, and involve thousands of vendors and service providers.
While elected school boards oversee these funds, true accountability begins with the community.
Local media reports have highlighted serious concerns about children struggling to receive a quality education.
This reinforces a simple truth: parents, family members, and engaged citizens must play an active role in the educational process.
Whether it’s attending school board meetings, speaking out, or staying informed—your involvement makes a difference.
Stand up for our kids. Show up. Speak out. Help build a school system that works for every child.
