jenna64+FollowFort Worth bets big on $100K teacher payFort Worth is making a bold move: teachers at six struggling schools could soon earn $100,000 base salaries, with principals topping out at $145,000. The district hopes this dramatic pay boost will keep experienced educators in classrooms that need them most. But there’s a catch—everyone has to reapply for their jobs, and the district is banking on extra state and federal funding to make it work. With average teacher pay in Fort Worth around $69,000, this is a huge leap. Will bigger paychecks really turn things around, or is this a risky gamble? What do you think? #Education #FortWorth #TeacherPay00Share

Parents are urging district leaders to focus on the most vulnerable kids as decisions are made. With a new state-appointed board coming in, past choices could even be reversed.
