As the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) holds its “School’s Out” rally, the Civitas Institute puts the spotlight on the gulf between teacher’s salaries and NCAE executives’ salaries.
Using the latest figures* from 2012, the most recent available, the average salary of NCAE executives was $180,231, compared to a NC teachers’ average annual pay of $45,933.
“I’m sure the NCAE will be talking about how the legislature hates teachers and education,” Civitas President Francis X. De Luca said. “But the real story is about how teacher union executives live large on the backs of hardworking teachers. The NCAE and their bosses at the National Education Association (NEA) don’t really care about children, they care about their salaries.”
The NCAE is one of the largest chapters of the NEA in the nation. In order to join the NCAE, members are required to join the NEA, one of the most radical unions in the country.

*Average teacher compensation includes base salary plus other additional pay such as new teacher orientation, longevity pay, supplementary pay, or mentor pay. Average compensation for top NCAE Executives includes base compensation, retirement and other deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits.
What absolute nonsense. Only the ignorant folks here would believe the NAE is a union.
You have zero credibility, making ridiculous statement about the most radical unions in the country. You seriously need to up the standards here if you ever expect anyone outside of the Tea Party fanatics to take you seriously.
And enough of the hypocrisy, please. You complain about compensation, yet you think it’s OK for charter schools compensation to be kept secret? Even though it’s funded by taxpayers. ZERO CREDIBILITY
Come on then, mate. If you google National Education Association, it says “The National Education Association is the largest professional organization and largest labor union in the United States, representing public school teachers and other…”
Google knows what day of the week I’m most likely to buy cat food, they can probably recognize a union if they see one.
Google, or any other search engine, doesn’t mean a guarantee of 100% accuracy. The NEA is an organization, it is NOT a union. They may certainly advocate for collective bargaining, but they aren’t a union. Google also described the NEA as ” the nation’s largest professional employee organization”.
