Union County Schools has put the brakes on planned teacher salary supplement increases due to growing uncertainty surrounding the state's budget. The decision comes as North Carolina lawmakers struggle to finalize a new state budget, which is expected to have a significant impact on education funding. The supplement increases, which were set to take effect in the upcoming school year, were intended to help boost teacher salaries in the district. With the state budget still up in the air, the school system has chosen to delay the increases to avoid any potential disruptions or reversals.
