Florida teachers demand higher pay and funding, opposing new oath and voucher expansion amid ongoing budget talks.
Florida teachers and their union are urging lawmakers to increase education funding and address systemic issues, citing low pay, staffing shortages, and billions diverted to vouchers and charter schools as threats to public education.
Despite a proposed $200 million teacher pay boost and record per-student funding, union leaders argue the increase falls short of closing Florida’s national pay gap, where the state ranks last.
They oppose a new constitutional oath requirement for teachers, calling it a distraction, and push for reforms to limit charter co-location and improve support for public schools.
The debate continues as budget negotiations progress.
