The Editor’s Notes
Ahead of the General Assembly’s return to Raleigh on Monday, Gov. Josh Stein issued this press release calling for an increase in teacher pay. He sent a letter to legislators, which says, “I’m requesting that you fund my teacher and state employee pay recommendations – providing teachers with an average 5.9% increase, restoring masters pay, and giving other school personnel a 3% increase ($451.6 million request). State employees would be provided with a 2% raise ($226.5 million request).”
