The Florence County school district average teacher salary was $56,226. The increase in average teacher salary since July 2011 was 19.9%, which was less than inflation. The Florence school board did prioritize keeping the Superintendent happy by increasing the Superintendent pay by 35.3%, about DOUBLE the pay increases for teachers.

Unless they offer at least a CPI raise for all teachers,

Hold off on returning your signed contract until June 12-14th.
