Gov. Roy Cooper took notice of teacher pay discrepancy in his fiscal years 2021-23 budget recommendations.
Cooper proposes the state appropriate $268.9 million in fiscal year 2022 and $439.3 million in fiscal year 2023 in teacher pay “to decrease pay disparity between educators and similarly credentialed and experienced professionals in other fields,” his recommendation states.
“This budget also works to make good on our state’s Constitutional duty to make sure every child has access to a sound basic education,” Cooper said in a press release. “We know how to do that: Attract and keep good teachers with competitive pay and recruit young people to make teaching a career.”
