Episode Details

Charlotte County teachers are getting a sweet bonus this year—five percent raises, even though the state only approved four. Superintendent Dr. Robbie Mason says they already had plans for a bigger boost thanks to cost-saving contract renegotiations. Beyond pay, the district is doubling down on foundational writing skills for grades K-5, teaching pencil grip and handwriting basics to set kids up for success. Academically, they’re crushing it: 82% passed reading (vs. 74% state average) and 84% passed math (vs. 72%). Their progressive curriculum is clearly paying off across all subjects. And safety? Speed cameras remain active around Phenix Elementary and Randolph-Henry High to keep traffic under control and students safe.
