At the Wake County Public School System, we support the incredible educators and other staff who show up every day to answer the call of building a bright future for the next generation. That's why we are proud to offer competitive salaries, graduate pay and local supplements that are among the highest in the state.

Master's, Advanced and Doctoral Pay

Beginning July 2023, teachers and certified instructional support staff, including social workers, who completed their first course toward their master's, advanced and doctoral degrees after the state's cutoff date of August 2013, are eligible to be paid for their relevant degrees.

Summer Cash Accounts

Employees receiving less than twelve monthly wage payments per school year may participate in a cash savings program with the State Employees' Credit Union, which allows them to receive pay over the summer months while earning interest.
