Wake County approves $1.06 billion budget

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- The Wake County Board of Commissioners has approved a $1.066 billion fiscal year 2015 budget that includes a teacher pay raise.

The plan includes a property tax increase of 4.4 cents for a final property tax rate of 57.8 cents per $100 property valuation. The increase - dedicated to the Wake school system, was approved by voters in 2013.

"Education is a key issue for our community," said Wake County Manager Jim Hartmann. "Wake County Public School System Staff and County staff have worked together closely to identify short-term and on-going steps for determining sustainable school funding options."
