Some counties across the Tampa Bay region would receive the most amount of funds under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ teacher pay plan.
DeSantis wants Florida lawmakers to approve a $602 million plan that would set a minimum salary of $47,500 for public-school teachers.
Hillsborough and Pasco counties are among the top 10 counties in terms of funds that would be received, followed by Polk and Pinellas. Hillsborough would trail only Miami-Dade and Broward.
A budget document released last month gives a breakdown of how the money could be spread to school districts across the state. Here are the estimated amounts for each district:
