Orange County is among six Florida school districts that will share more than $66 million in grant money from Washington to give bonuses and extra training to particularly effective teachers and principals. The U.S. and state education agencies made the announcement on Friday.
The money will go to teachers and administrators who work in high-poverty schools.
Broward County got the biggest grant at just over $18,000. Other large grants were around $17,000 for Lee and Hillsborough counties. Smaller grants went to Orange County, Gilchrist County and Miami-Dade.
