[SIZE=3][SIZE=3]I used to teach in another county in FL and did some research into Citrus county earlier this year. Be aware that you will pay a LOT more for health insurance in FL, especially if you are trying to get family coverage. The citrus county schools website says "School board pays $220 per month" towards insurance. The current rate for family coverage is $ 440 - $557 per month (the amount deducted from your paycheck per month). It might work out a lot better if you are single (check the website). Also, don't expect dental insurance like you probably had up north either.
The salary schedule for Citrus is one of the lowest in the Central FL area for sure. (again, it's posted on the website)
As for jobs, you asked if "a lot of jobs exist". The answer is NO. But a lot of layoffs probably do. Also, no raises and salary cuts/ insurance cost increases.
Try to find that local area's on-line newspaper and check it out. The Orlando Sentinel also has some info (there is a "Education News" tab under news on the left bar)
