The state salary schedules for next school year are set.
Not including any local supplements or pay increases, the average pay raise for a certified teacher with a bachelor’s degree will be $1,166. On average, certified teachers with a master’s degree will receive an additional $1,261. Between year one and year seven, the average pay raise will be $1,600 for a bachelor’s level teacher and $1,691 for a master’s level teacher. No certified teacher in North Carolina will earn less than $30,430 a year.
I am not sure how modest these pay raise are, but I know that teacher pay in North Carolina is pretty competitive, even without these pay increases.
