Lakeland school district to make ‘historic investment’ in teachers
“One of things that’s really the highlight of this budget, in fact, it’s the main difference, is that this budget makes a historic investment in our teachers, in our teachers’ salary schedules in particular,” Lakeland School System Superintendent Ted Horrell said about LSS’ 2024-25 budget.

“Basically, every teacher would move up the equivalent of four steps in one year,” Lakeland School System Superintendent Ted Horrell said at a budget work session for the coming fiscal year.
