Here is the salary schedule that was in place for the 2024-2025 school year.

And because those people in Raleigh who hold the majority in both chambers of the NC General Assembly have refused to pass a new budget, it is the salary schedule for the 2025-2026 school year.

Like it’s frozen.

For those who are not teachers, make sure to pay attention to years 15-24.

Also frozen.

10 years of the same.

There is no longevity pay during these years as well.

Someone who has been teaching for 24 years makes the same as someone who has been teaching for 15.

Amounts toward retirement will be the same.

Not much of a raise in the last couple of years with rapid inflation.

If anyone in Raleigh cares to explain how those 10 frozen years of pay is supposed to attract teachers to the profession, then speak up. But it looks blatantly like a ploy to keep people from being career educators.
