Campaign website

Eddings’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Teacher Retention The days of wishing we could pay teachers more are a thing of the past because higher pay is not a luxury. We are in a staffing crisis. We need to offer competitive salaries, reinstate lost benefits and treat teachers as professionals. All are critical to retaining our most talented educators. Teacher Recruitment We need to make the teacher profession more attractive. We cannot recruit when the UNC system has seen a drop in college enrollment in the field of education. We need to bring back retirement benefits for new hires and increase the starting salary to prevent new teachers from working second jobs to pay their bills. Competitive Pay Structure Students and teachers deserve more than a salary increase that barely matches the rate of inflation. We need a true and competitive pay structure so that experienced educators no longer have to make financial sacrifices to support our students, and teachers can afford to keep teaching. School Safety We must be proactive in our approach to school safety. Ongoing assessments and conversations with local law enforcement and school-based officers are imperative to protecting students. We need to practice drills often, train everyone, and communicate expectations daily. Mental Health Support Emotional and mental health professionals should be available for every single school to support all students' needs.	”
