I am a current university student who will be graduating from Florida and will proceed in teaching. My fiancee and i want to move to North Carolina possibly towards the Charlotte area. We would like to know what the beginning salary is for teachers in secondary education in that area. Living in Florida with two teachers salary is not so good and from what i've heard it is not getting any better. Will the move be beneficial considering that the beginning salary is almost $10,000 less than Florida, or was the pdf file in teach4nc.com not quite right? I'll appreciate anyone who is willing to respond to my question.
$29,750 plus when ever supplement the district has. Almost all have a supplement. Mine is $2,000, so I will make $31,750 this year. And, the salary has been going up every year for the last few years. So, it may be more next year.
Thank you so much for responding, i appreciate it. Where do you recommend us going to teach. We've heard that the Charlotte area is growing rapidly, but how are the schools there?
Before moving, I would thoroughly research CMS first. There are alot of problems within their school system. There are other options for you outside of Meck. County.
Thank you, i appreciate your response and i will be venturing those neighborhoods and many others when i visit over there at the end of April. How is the "triangle" for teachers?
Unless I'm mistaken, North Carolina is one of the worst in the south, with respect to teaching salaries.
The highest paying salaries in the south, unless I'm mistaken, are Georgia and Virginia. Alabama has recently invested in education, too, so their previously pitiful salary may now be respectable.

In NJ, there is a published salary grid which increases pay with years of service and college/grad school education. After 33 years (and a masters degree), my wife was making close to $100k a year (with 3 months off for the summer). You may want to see if there is a similar grid in NC and how the pay scale works.

There's also a local salary supplement not reflected in those numbers.
Yeah, an extra $2000 or so a year! Maybe $5000 for a teacher that experienced in some areas. My district pays 2K for 0-4 years and it goes up $50 from there. It tops out at like $2700. So, even with a supplement (and not all schools have them), it is still well below 100K.
