N.C. Superintendent Mark Johnson issued the following statement regarding K-12 education portions of Gov. Roy Cooper’s budget proposal, which the governor released today:
“I am pleased with many of the education items in Gov. Cooper’s budget request, such as more funding for textbooks and digital learning. And I commend the governor for proposing pay increases for teachers that are very similar to the General Assembly’s plan for next school year. With this developing bipartisan consensus, I am confident that teachers will see a well-deserved fifth year in a row of pay increases above the inflation rate.”
