The North Carolina Board of Education unanimously approved a statement today calling for the pay boost.

The Professional Educator Preparation and Standards Commission voted on Thursday to back a summary of licensure and compensation goals to pass along to the State Board of Education. The commission already has been refining a licensure and pay plan that ultimately would need buy-in from the board and funding from the General Assembly.

The Transformational Scholarship provides $40,000 toward tuition at NC State's College of Education to students from eastern North Carolina who intend to return to that region to teach.

鈥淎lthough on paper, it looks like we have a vacancy, we don't have a void,鈥� says superintendent Michael Sasscer. Edenton-Chowan Schools is pairing a new or substitute teacher with an experienced teacher in a co-teaching relationship to fill its vacancies.

Over the past decades, state funding for schools has fluctuated. To understand what that looks like, 吉彩网网站's education reporter Liz Schlemmer spoke with two veteran teachers.

The North Carolina Association of Educators is opposing a state plan to change how teachers are licensed and paid. Representatives for the teachers' association held a press conference Tuesday saying the plan might worsen, rather than alleviate, a growing teacher shortage.

Sessions will deal with bullying, suicide, opioids and other substance use among other challenges children now face. The training also will address trauma and victimization among children and adolescents, and how all of these things impact school climate and school safety.

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools has advantages when it comes to hiring teachers and staff that Edenton-Chowan Schools does not. But superintendents from both districts say they're struggling to find qualified applicants for open positions in time for fall.

Students may be on summer break, but school principals are hard at work using these months to find a qualified, well-prepared teacher for every classroom come fall. Teacher turnover was higher than usual in some North Carolina districts this past year.

Teacher turnover. Burnout. Short-staffed schools. After two years in a pandemic, for many people, life is getting back to some semblance of normal. With the end of virtual classes and mask mandates, schools are also returning to their pre-pandemic routines 鈥� but teachers say schools are not back to normal.
