NC Teachers Get Raise Back to School | Raleigh News

North Carolina teachers are celebrating a major pay boost as starting salaries jump to $48,000 — a $7,000 leap — with an average 8% raise across the board. After a year-long budget delay, lawmakers from both parties finally agreed on a deal that includes raises for new and veteran educators alike, plus bonuses for support staff. Governor Josh Stein hailed it as “real money” but noted the state still ranks dead last nationally for teacher pay. Student leaders say it’s a start, but falls short of honoring educators’ long-term commitment. Meanwhile, some districts have cut their own raises due to funding gaps, adding complexity to the state’s efforts to support its educators.
