Abstract:
State funds reaching over $108 million were paid in 1956-1967 for the salaries of 33,438 teachers, principles, and supervisors. There were 892 more instructional personnel paid that in the previous year, and the average classroom teacher received an average salary of $3,131.74. The North Carolina General Assembly was also able to set a pay schedule for teachers and principles related to educational degrees and number of teachers overseen, while retirement laws increased the minimum benefits for teachers, similar to other state employees.
