All permanent teachers and other non-contract staff members in school-based positions that require a teaching certificate receive a local supplement equal to 8.5% of their base salary. The supplement is paid in 2 installments, one in the fall and one in the spring. The Board of Education has a plan to increase the local supplement to 10%.
Principals are paid on a state-adopted salary schedule based on their years of experience in education, years as a school administrator, and the number of state-funded teachers supervised.
Assistant Principals, Teachers and other licensed staff (e.g. media specialists, psychologists, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, counselors and social workers) are paid on state-adopted salary schedules based on licensure, years of experience, and degree held.
Transylvania County Schools provides a National Board Certification Cohort model for teachers seeking that certification. In addition, we have a process for licensed employees to receive support in defraying the costs associated with tuition expenses for advanced degrees or certifications. Funds from our Title II-Part A "Improving Teacher Quality" grant are used to provide nearly $30,000 per year to support this program that values and supports the professional growth of our employees.
