TEACHERS SALARIES
NOT TO BE REDUCED

For the purpose of going over the
various items to be incorporated in
the school budget for the coming fis-
cal year, the County Board of Edu-
cation this morning held a special
session, all members being present.
Under the law. this budget must be
submitted TO the County Commission
ers not later than their first meeting
in May, so that it may be acted on
ty that lody in making up the county
tax levy.
The School Board went over their
budget item by item, and expect to be
able TO have sum total figure that
will result in a reduction of the school
tax for the coming year, while ad-
vancing the standard from and educa-
tional standpoint.
This year will be the first year
under the operation of the new Cen
eral Educational Law just passed by
the Legislature, by which the county
will receive, approximately, $4,000
from the State Equalization Fund. AT
the same time boom in county wide
school affairs is looked for, owing to
the vastly improved building plant,
included i'm which are new schools at
MilIersville, Glen Burnie, Arnolds,
Pasadena, and other sections OF the
county. as the result of the $780,
900 school bond issue law of 1920.
No Reduction In Teachers Pay
1t was decided by a majority vote
of the Board not to reduce the sal
aries OF the teachers from the scale
now prevailing in Anne Arundel
county. This is about $50 year
more than the minimum scale provid-
ed in the new general law, and repre-
sent sa difference altogether of about
SO 900 in the whole county. Messrs.
Munroe and Melvin voted against the
reduction, and Mr. CLANCY voted for
his motion to that effect.
Special Meeting April %
to the opponents of the proposition TO
provide transportation of pupils To
the Tracey's High School, the Board
on motion OF Commissioner CLANCY
named Tuesday. April 25, at 10
O'Clock as the date for giving further
consideration to the matter. AT the
meeting last week, the advocates Oh
he proposition were heard ana tne
Board adopted an order for the item
to be provided for in the budget, upon
tho condition that there should De
paid by the parents OF each pupil the
sum OF 81 per month toward deiray-
ing expenses. 1t was then stated tnat'
approximately. twenty pupils would
in that way be provided with high
school educations who would other
wise be deprived of 1t. However,
there is said to be some opposition
to the plan in the lower section OF the
county. and it is for the purpose OF
giving both sides full opportunity to
be heard that the hearing for the OPP
moments of the measure has been SET
for the 25th.
