Try Citrus County (just north of Tampa) They have several postings.
Volusia County, if you can trust them, has a list of 20 openings on
Teachinflorida.com. Osceola County has a good list of openings.
Other than that, the charter schools are a final, but bad option.
But having a job working for slave wages is better than no jobs,
unless you have lots of money in the bank to live on.
