During its recently concluded short session, the North Carolina General Assembly did not modify the provisions of the education budget passed in the 2023 biennium budget (Session Law 2023-134). As the state inflation rate is approximately 3.8% and the average raise for certified and non-certified staff was 3.0%, the outcome of that decision means that most teachers will have a reduction in real dollars when accounting for inflation. Therefore, the Transylvania County Board of Education is requesting that the General Assembly pass a modified education budget with a pay increase of at least 5.0% for certified and non-certified staff at its session beginning on September 9, 2024.
A motion would be in order to approve the attached letters for submission to legislative leaders in the North Carolina General Assembly.
