SB 285 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Teacher Salary Supplement/Guilford Cnty Schs.

SB 285 authorizes supplemental funding for teacher and qualifying school administrator salary supplements in North Carolina for the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, specifically including Guilford County Schools as an eligible recipient. The bill establishes a funding formula based on county-specific factors like property values, household income, and tax rates to determine allocations, with a maximum of $5,000 per State-funded teacher. Eligible school districts must use these funds to supplement, not replace, existing non-State funding for teacher salaries. The bill directly affects teachers and administrators in eligible school districts across the state, with Guilford County explicitly named as an eligible jurisdiction.
