Teachers could get an increase in their state-funded salary and a supplement from Mecklenburg County.
A handful of people spoke out, including a substitute teacher who said she’s concerned subs are getting overlooked.
“Most of the money from the bonuses does not go into my pocket,” said Shirley Hines, a substitute teacher. “I don’t get new shoes or new handbags, but it’s returned to the classroom.”
There is also $12 million that is slated for 30 capital projects not included in the $2.5 billion bond voters approved in November 2023.
