Lewis Gets Pay Hike Amid School Progress | Durham News

Durham Public Schools just gave Superintendent Anthony Lewis a hefty $290K salary boost — his second raise since 2024 — after praising his leadership that’s driven academic progress and strategic goals in North Carolina’s largest district. The new deal locks in his pay for 2026-27, shielding it from state raises until July 2027, when board approval will be needed. Lewis credits the board’s support for stability and student success, as the district also approved a major budget boost and staff wage hike amid ongoing internal investigations.
