I am a Guidance Counselor in NYC. I wanted impressions from educators on what the Florida Public Schools are like. Are the schools generally organized well? What are the responsibilities of a Guidance Counselor there (since it seems to vary so much place to place).

I was wondering if any teachers or counselors could tell me around how much health insurance would be monthly for my husband and I if I decided to move to Florida?

Is there a teachers Union? If not, are working conditions acceptable without them? If there's another school district that you could suggest in Florida?

Thank you for any insights you can give me. It is appreciated. Have a Happy New Year .

I would suggest Sarasota County for teaching. Teachers in Sarasota County are some of the highest paid in the state and the cost of living is relatively low, compared with other parts. You can get a 3/2/2, 2000 or newer in a nice neighborhood for $125,000-$130,000. Here are some links to the local school system.
