That doesn’t do enough to keep up with the rising cost of utilities, gas and groceries this year, said President of the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) Tamika Walker Kelly. The raise in the base salary amounts to about $50 to $65 more per month in each teacher’s pockets compared to what they would have received on the old salary schedule. This year's raises are retroactive to July 1, and teachers will likely receive the raise and back pay in January according to legislative staff. Since passage of the budget was delayed, teachers did not receive their step raises for several months this fall. The step increase represents about a 1.2% raise from the previous year. ![]()
