North Carolina signs teacher pay bill for one time bonuses
Governor Roy Cooper signed nine bills including a K-12 educator pay measure offering 350 dollar one-time bonuses by October for teachers and instructional staff. The bill also urges use of COVID relief funds for additional 600 dollar bonuses, a plan Democrats oppose. The action accompanies park funding, UNC cost relief, and criminal justice tweaks. A separate Coast Guard search near Cape Hatteras ended without success for a tanker crewmember. In Fayetteville a privately owned Confederate monument was moved to storage, sparking varied reactions.
