Education Articles and Briefs
EdNC - Hannah Vinueza McClellan | June 27, 2024: A new fiscal year begins July 1. What’s the state of the budget and teacher pay?
On Thursday, the Senate passed a bill to confirm funding for school employee pay during the new fiscal year, including new bonuses for school principals.
Despite not having a new compromise budget, this bill will allow districts and schools to move forward with pay raises laid out in the 2023 budget. Pending the governor’s signature, these raises will become effective on July 1. Exactly when employees will see them in their paychecks may vary, but the raises will be retroactive to July 1.
EdNC - Mebane Rash | June 27, 2024: ‘Highlights’ is out with answers to lots of your questions about the budget for public schools
On the webpage, where the reports — from 2004 through 2024 — are posted, it says, “A report that presents charts and tables which describe how state and federal funds are distributed to North Carolina’s Public Schools.” It’s so much more! In the report, you can find out how many students, teachers, and schools we have; the maximum amount of money your superintendent can make; class size ratios; how many districts are considered low wealth or small; how much state money goes to each charter; who received Needs-Based Public School Construction Grants, and more.
K-12 Dive - Anna Merod | June 24, 2024: USDA’s updated nutrition standards will cost school districts $206M annually

K-12 Dive - Roger Riddell | June 26, 2024: Summer Reading: School cybersecurity threats on the rise
