Table 3 shows 2003-04 average teacher salaries by degree level for each district and the state.
Cautionary Note
In Florida, each public school district, after collective bargaining activities, adopts a salary schedule for instructional personnel in
that district. In some school districts, a salary schedule for the school year is negotiated and adopted after the collection of
salary data for that school year by the Department of Education (DOE). In many of these districts, the final negotiated salary
schedule provides retroactive pay to instructional personnel for the entire school year. When this happens, the salary
information on the DOE Staff Database does not reflect the subsequent salary increase for that district.
The DOE has taken the following steps to clarify for users the salary information presented in this publication. First, 2003-04
district salary information in tables 3, 7, 8, and 9 and 2002-03 information in table 9 have been footnoted to designate those
districts that had not negotiated a new salary schedule prior to reporting. Second, beginning in 1998-99, rather than using
survey 2 (October) salary data, this publication uses survey 3 (February) data in order to report as many salary increases as
possible. Finally, comparison charts and tables have been footnoted to indicate instances in which the timeframe of salary
adoption by districts might have a bearing on the comparison being presented.
Users of teacher salary data are advised to be aware of this and other factors affecting the data when making judgements and
drawing conclusions based on these data.

Degree Level**
Table 4 shows that over the three-year period from 2001-02 through 2003-04, the number of teachers overall has
increased continuously. The percentage of teachers at the bachelor’s degree level is slightly more than 60 percent
each year. The percentage of teachers at the master’s degree level increased slightly from 35.33 in 2001-02 to 35.56
in 2002-03, but dropped to 35.01 in 2003-04. The percentage of teachers at the specialist and doctorate degree
levels combined increased from 3.95 in 2001-02 to 3.98 in 2002-03, however, it dropped in 2003-04 to 3.85.

Table 5, page 6, shows the number and percentage of teachers in each degree level for each district and the state for
2003-04. Teachers with a bachelor’s as their highest degree level account for 61.14 percent of all teachers, while
those with a master’s degree account for 35.01 percent. Teachers at the specialist or doctorate degree level account
for the remaining 3.85 percent. Across the districts, a wide variation exists in the percentage of teachers paid at each
degree level. Shown below are the districts having the greatest proportion of teachers at each degree level.

Experience
Table 6, page 7, shows the average number of years of teaching experience at each degree level for each district and
the state. In 2003-04, the state average number of years of experience ranges from 10.65 for teachers with a
bachelor’s degree to 18.53 for teachers with a specialist degree. Teachers with a master’s degree average 15.75
years of experience statewide, and those with a doctorate average 16.31 years of experience. For all degree levels,
Florida teachers currently average 12.75 years of teaching experience. No experience data is available for St. Johns
County.
The average number of years of experience includes both public and private teaching experience from within and
outside the state. Since the average number of years of experience of teachers also greatly impacts the average
salary for teachers, this factor should be taken into consideration when comparing average teacher salaries of the
districts. One district’s average salary may be considerably higher than another’s, and the experience level might also
be considerably greater.
Salary Range
Table 7, page 8 shows the minimum and maximum salaries by degree level for each district. The salaries shown for a
district are the minimum and maximum negotiated salaries for each degree level** and may not reflect an actual salary
paid to a teacher for the school year. Salaries for teachers at a bachelor’s degree level ranged from a low (minimum)
of $25,000 in Jefferson County to a high (maximum) of $60,209 in Broward County.
Median Salaries
Median salaries for Florida public school teachers by degree level are shown in Table 8, page 9. For calculating
median salaries, all salaries are arranged in order from the lowest to the highest. The point on the range of salaries

where there is an equal number of teachers above and below is the median. The median salary for all Florida school
districts in 2003-04 is $37,308. Across all districts, the median salary for all degrees ranges from a low of $29,487 in
Union County to a high of $44,546 in Collier County.
Comparison of Average Salaries
Table 9, page 10, shows average teacher salaries for selected school years since 1994-95. There has been an
increase of $7,998 since 1994-95, which is a 24.53 percent increase over the last ten years.
Figure 2 shows the percent increase of average teacher salaries for the past ten years. The highest percent increase
over the previous year was in 1998-99 at 4.19 percent. The second highest increase (4.11 percent) over the previous
year occurred in 2000-01. From 1994-95 through 2003-04, the increases were between 0.80 and 4.19 percent. For
2002-03, the increase was 2.55 percent. The average teacher salary increased from 2002-03 to 2003-04 by 0.80
percent.

Other Considerations
Various factors affect Florida’s average teacher salary figures and should be taken into consideration when analyzing
and comparing district-to-district or district-to-state average salaries. These factors include: (1) the number of
instructional personnel in the district; (2) the type of degree of the individual; (3) the number of years of experience;
and (4) whether the teacher is paid from an in-field or out-of-field contract. In addition, salaries paid by a school district
for noncontracted teachers (e.g., temporary teachers, some permanent substitutes, and some full-time substitutes)
may not be reflected in district or state totals.
