Nashville teachers will see a pay increase every year under a new plan paid for by Mayor John Cooper s proposed $50 million investment in teacher compensation announced Thursday.
Teachers will see on average a $6,900 increase this year as the city and the district seek to provide competitive, living wages to its educators.
The nearly $50 million needed to revamp the district s pay structure is made possible by an already recovering economy and the city s strengthened faith in the public school system, the school board and the leadership of Director of Schools Adrienne Battle.
The proposed pay increase and new salary structure will impact all certified staff, including teachers, librarians, school counselors and social workers. But the proposal does not include classified support staff or certified administrators. Instead, those employees would receive a 2% cost-of-living increase in addition to annual step pay increases in the proposed budget.
Only students in grades 4-12 can learn virtually

Students have to meet certain criteria, like being on track academically, to enroll in virtual school
To enroll in virtual school, students must meet certain criteria including having a 2.0 GPA or an overall C average in all courses and have received minimum scores of the district s MAP Assessments in reading and math.

The 2021 graduation ceremonies for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools seniors might look kind of like this again not virtual like 2020 s ceremonies.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will hold 2021 graduation ceremonies at Bojangles Coliseum, Ovens Auditorium and the Charlotte Convention Center, Superintendent Earnest Winston announced Tuesday night.
Last year the pandemic forced the district to rely on virtual ceremonies and drive-through diploma pickups. This year, as things are improving, we wanted to offer our students, their families and friends an opportunity to celebrate this amazing accomplishment and life event, Winston said.
Graduates will be limited to two guests to allow for safe distancing, and the ceremonies will be streamed for others who can’t attend.
