Gov. DeSantis calls on vets to apply for teaching jobs

On Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis publicly called on veterans to join Florida’s new veteran teaching program, which allows veterans who have not yet earned their bachelor’s degrees to teach in Florida classrooms using a temporary teaching certificate.

“Calling all veterans! Florida wants you to teach in our classrooms,” DeSantis tweeted, along with an advertisement explaining how veterans can qualify for the program. To participate, veterans must have served at least four years in the US military and been honorably or medically discharged, earned at least 60 college credits, and passed the Florida subject-area examination.

Last week, DeSantis announced the launch of a new webpage designed to streamline recruitment for the program.

“Florida is the most veteran- and military-friendly state in the nation,” DeSantis said in a statement. “We also know that our veterans have talents and skills that they can offer our students. This new opportunity expands Florida’s existing programs that help our veterans take their talents to our schools, and it will help Florida remain a national leader in education.”
