North Carolina teachers and education advocates are expressing disappointment and skepticism over the state's proposed budget, which includes a 4% raise for educators. Despite the increase, many argue that the raise is insufficient, citing the state's historically low teacher pay and the rising cost of living in the region. Critics point out that the proposed raise would still leave North Carolina teachers earning less than their counterparts in neighboring states. As the budget moves forward, educators and advocates are calling for more substantial investments in public education and teacher compensation.
