Charlotte’s teachers are feeling the pinch as salaries lag behind the city’s soaring cost of living. CMS leaders are pushing for urgent action, saying that without better pay, it’s getting harder to keep experienced educators in local classrooms. The district is even looking at creative solutions like rental assistance and dedicated teacher housing. But officials stress that local fixes aren’t enough—state lawmakers need to step up too. With housing, childcare, and healthcare costs all climbing, what would it take for Charlotte to truly support its teachers? How do you think we can keep great educators in our schools? #Education #CharlotteNC #TeacherPay
