Superintendent recommends 3.55% pay increase for administrative and nonunion staff for 2025–26
Summary
Dr. White recommended a 3.55% pay increase for administrative and other nonunion employees for the 2025–26 school year; the proposal would add roughly $83,936 for the administrative group and about $55,000 for other nonunion groups to the district's $39.2 million FY26 budget.
Dr. White presented a recommendation at the May 19 Committee of the Whole that Cary CCSD 26 approve a 3.55% salary increase for administrative and other nonunion employees for the 2025–26 school year.
"This year's recommendation ... is that all 9 union employees which includes our principals, assistant principals, district coordinators, accounting payroll manager, district maintenance technician, district executive administrative assistants, district office support assistant, technology specialist, service support specialist, communications and physical specialist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, transportation staff, and lunchroom supervisors ... receive 3.55% for the 25–26 school year," Dr. White said during the presentation.
Dr. White said the recommendation uses the district’s certified staff settlement as a guide to keep nonunion pay competitive within the local market while remaining within projected budget limits. He told the board that using the district’s $39,200,000 FY26 budget, the proposed increases would add about $83,936 for the administrative group and about $55,000 for the remaining nonunion employees compared with the prior year.
A board member asked for clarification on who is included in the administrative group; Dr. White said it comprises principals, assistant principals and district coordinators. A separate board member asked whether the item would be handled in closed session; Dr. White replied that it would not be.
Dr. White also reported that assistant-superintendent base salaries were already approved under multi-year contracts, so those roles were not part of this recommendation. He said there were no proposed changes to health benefits, sick leave or vacation allotments.
The recommendation was presented for board consideration; the transcript does not record a motion or vote on the pay proposal during the May 19 meeting.
