BOARD OF EDUCATION
GRANTS EMPLOYEES BONUS
$40 to- be Paid Now and $40 for each
Month During School Term.

The ~Pleasantville Board of Educa-
ton, following a conference with City
Council in a joint meeting which took
place after a public meeting last Mon
day night to consider teachers request
for increased salaries, granted a bonus
of 500 per employee of the Board of
Education.
The action was taken at / A. M.
Tuesday morning following a most
lengthy discussion and consideration
of the teachers requests and the ways
and means of granting them.>
1t was found possible to grant the
bonus under an act in the Pamphlet
Laws of 1919 by which Boards were
empowered to allow bonuses and in
creases in salaries during any year up
until the year 1922. The act was os-
tensibly for the purpose of covering
present abnormal conditions and Iiy-
ing expenses and for the granting of
temporary increases in salary. Should
Boards grant the abnormal salaries al
the first of each school year it is
thought it would be difficult to read
just the salaries should conditions i'm
prove around 1922, consequently the
bonus privilege to Educational Boards.
The Pleasantville bonuses will be
granted in instalments of $40 per
month for the ten months of the school
term. When the teachers and en-
ployees of the schools receive their
December pay checks they will re-
ceive the SO bonus for each month
from the time they started up until
the present month and will afterwards
receive SO monthly until the end of
the term.
The teachers upon hearing of the
favorable action expressed their salts
faction to the Board members and re-
sumed their school work enthusiasts
cally.
The City Superintendent of Schools,
and the teachers collectively, desire
through the columns of The Pleasant
vile Press to express their sincere APP
probation to the Board of Education
and City Council for the action taken
in this matter.
