Last year average pay for principals in North Carolina ranked 50th nationally. The General Assembly responded with $35 million in pay raises for school-based administrators and a new principal pay plan. That plan is now generating concerns that many principals may actually lose pay and that it may create a disincentive for top principals to take jobs at chronically low-performing, often high poverty schools. This week on Education Matters we discuss what’s next with our guests.
Guests:
• Dr. Ray Spain, Superintendent, Warren County Schools
• Matt Wight, Principal, Apex Friendship H.S., Wake County
• Katherine Joyce, Executive Director, NC Association of School Administrators
• Jason Griffin, 2017 NC Principal of the Year, Perquimans County
