RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina teachers and state employees would receive higher salary bumps than are currently planned, while child care providers could access some financial aid as federal assistance ends in a state budget measure advanced Tuesday by House Republicans.because private negotiations with Senate GOP counterparts on a consensus spending plan in recent weeks have faltered.
The enacted second year of the budget already has rank-and-file state employees poised to receive 3% raises in the coming year, with teachers on average also receiving 3% raises. But under the $31.7 billion House plan making its way through three committees on Tuesday, state employees would see 4% raises instead, while correctional and probation and parole officers would get 9% raises to reflect recruiting and retention challenges in the fields.Rhode Island lawmakers approve $13.
“We cannot leave Raleigh without addressing the childcare crisis,” Rep. Donny Lambeth, a Forsyth County Republican and senior budget co-chairman, said in a news release, adding that the grants will “keep childcare centers open and parents can remain in the workforce, while giving the state time to develop a more sustainable model for childcare costs.”
