The Issue: Inflation in North Carolina has hit 3.8%, but the recent education budget increase of 3.0% does not cover the rising costs. This leaves teachers facing a pay cut in real dollars.

The Impact: Teachers are crucial to the education of 1.4 million students, yet many are leaving due to inadequate pay. In 2023 alone, 10,373 teachers left the profession.

Our Call to Action: We demand the North Carolina General Assembly pass a revised budget with at least a 5.0% pay increase for all education staff in the session starting September 9, 2024.
