Clarification from the governor

Our former NC TOY, Darcy Grimes, requested clarification from Governor McCrory regarding the pay plan announcement today.  Here is his response to her:

"Thanks for your questions, and my apologies for any confusion. To clarify - in the first phase, all  teachers currently on step 0-6 will receive a pay increase to a salary of $33000. In the second phase, all teachers on steps 0-9 will be bumped up to $35000. No teacher will take a pay cut. On average, about 42,000 teachers will receive the raise, not just teachers in their first year." 

He also announced that any teacher who has started a master's program (regardless of if they are still taking classes and how many classes they have started) once they graduate they WILL now receive masters pay.

As mentioned in my earlier post, this is just baby steps, keep talking!
