HB 482 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Reauthorize and Revise Teacher Bonuses/Military.

HB 482 reauthorizes North Carolina's teacher bonus program for 2025-2027, expanding eligibility to include teachers who leave their school due to military orders. It allows qualifying teachers to receive bonuses based on student performance (e.g., AP/IB exam scores or industry certifications) even if they no longer teach at the same school, provided they submit a military transfer notice and updated address by January 1. The bill maintains existing bonus amounts ($50 for advanced courses, $25/$50 for CTE certifications) but adds this military exception to the eligibility criteria. This directly affects public school teachers who separate due to military service but meet other bonus qualifications.
