A potential windfall for Central Florida's educators could be on the horizon as leftover Disney property tax settlement money is set to be reassessed by local schools. In 2020, Disney reached a deal with Orange and Osceola counties to settle a long-standing property tax dispute, resulting in a significant influx of funds for the school districts. However, some of that money remains unspent, and now school officials are considering redirecting it towards teacher salaries, a move that could provide much-needed relief to educators facing stagnant pay. The decision is expected to be made in the coming weeks, with implications for the region's education system and the thousands of teachers who rely on it.
