Fairness & Transparency in Education Salaries

Introduced·3/18/25

North Carolina H445 reinstates salary supplements for teachers and support staff and requires local boards to publicize therapist salary schedules.

North Carolina H445 reinstates education-based salary supplements for teachers and instructional support personnel, including school social workers, using the 2013 State Board of Education policy. It also requires local boards of education to publish salary schedules for occupational therapists and physical therapists, differentiating salaries based on experience intervals of no more than five years. The bill allocates $8 million from the General Fund for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to cover these supplements.
