Gov. Ron DeSantis proposes record funding for Florida K-12 education
Governor Ron DeSantis released his proposed education budget this week, and despite asking for a historic $29.7 billion for K-12 education, advocates say it’s not enough. DeSantis has asked for a record $1.5 billion for teacher pay, an increase of about $246 million. He’s also asked for about $1.7 billion for early childhood education.
