Teachers In Central Florida Respond To Gov. DeSantis's Teachers Bill Of Rights

A bill of rights for teachers in Florida is being proposed as a novel piece of legislation. The proposal, which, in part, calls for a billion-dollar raise in teacher compensation this year, was unveiled by Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday in Jacksonville.

“This is a massive, colossal package that will increase teacher pay, encourage teacher empowerment in the classroom, and safeguard their income, according to DeSantis.

Teachers in Lake County reacted differently to the news. That’s fantastic. More money is required. Jamie Perna, a teacher in Lake County’s first grade, claimed, “We deserve it because we work so hard.

The governor also demands that teachers be allowed to join their local union without suffering consequences if they choose not to.

“That freedom already exists for our instructors. Vice President of the Lake County Teachers Association, Elizabeth Emory, stated they already had the capacity. The Lake County Teachers Association covers 3,000 teachers. The governor should concentrate on the teacher shortage, according to Emory.

According to Emory, the amount of labor required of our teachers, the demands placed on them, and the working environment are turning them away.

Tamara Russell, a fourth-grade teacher from Lake County Schools, said, “I think it’s vital for the governor to listen to what teachers need, things like autonomy, voice and choice in the classroom, the trust of our parents and community.”

Additionally, the governor is urging lawmakers to approve a bill that would reduce the length of school board tenure from twelve to eight years.

“Three of us would not be in our current positions if term limits were set at eight years. The continuity of this board and our empirical understanding of what is happening and how we intend to proceed are both essential components of its success.

Bill Mathias, a Lake County School Board member, stated, “And I hope there is some consideration by our legislators not to support it. The governor’s proposal would also create a new procedure for reporting violations of teachers’ rights to the state and ensuring that the Department of Education can look into such claims.
