Dear Broward County families, students, and staff,

I’m honored to welcome you to the start of the 2023-2024 school year! 

We’re starting this year off right with a new superintendent and a determination to make sure Broward students receive the highest quality education possible. This year, I’ll also continue to fight for competitive salaries for our teachers and school leaders. 

We have a plan to get teachers to $80,000 in pay (equal to $100,000 in total compensation) and get Principals and Assistant Principals to $120,000 (equal to $150,000 in total compensation) by 2025! Wow! Before we can start on this path, however, we need to hear from YOU. 

Our next public hearing is September 12, 2023 at 5 pm. There, we’ll hear from the community about any final changes prior to submitting it to the state. I invite you to join us and let us know what BCPS budget priorities should be!

Thank you all for your dedication to Broward County Schools and please reach out to my office if you need anything. We’re going to have a fantastic school year!

Warmly,

Allen
