Florida currently gives bonuses to highly effective teachers who also scored well on their college entrance exams. DeSantis wants to eliminate the college entrance exam requirement from the "Best and Brightest" program.
DeSantis's proposal would cost the state more than double the current bonus program.
The Republican governor also wants $10 million to pay the college tuition of teachers who agree to teach in Florida for five years.
