Escambia near the bottom when it comes to experienced teachers

   August 2, 2018

According to the Florida Department of Education, only four school districts have teachers with an average years of experience less than Escambia County. The state average during the 2016-17 school year was 11.27 years for a teacher. The Escambia County School District average was only 7.35.  In Jim Paul’s last year as superintendent (2008-09), the average experience for a teacher was 9.47 years.

Under Superintendent Malcolm Thomas, the district has teachers with an average of  two years less experience.  Retention and job satisfaction appear to be issues.

Santa Rosa teachers have an average of 11.95 years of experience, Okaloosa 12.68 years.  Both school districts are ‘A’ districts. The five years more experience can make a difference.
