CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board has approved its budget for the next school year.
The board voted 5-3 in favor of the budget that includes a 5% pay increase for teachers funded by the county. That’s on top of a 3% pay increase from the state.
The budget also includes performance-based bonuses for some high school math teachers.
Mecklenburg County Commissioners will still have to approve the budget.
