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

Robert Cox+FollowFort Worth schools face tough choices aheadFort Worth’s public schools are closing 18 campuses by 2029, but what’s really striking is that while the city keeps growing, student enrollment is dropping fast.

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.
