SIX D. c. TEACHERS
FACE SLASHED PAY
Cut of From $500 to ST, 900
Urged Due to Low Rat
ing of Service.
THREE WARNINGS GIVEN
Members of School Staff Failing to
Meet Qualifications Result of
War Emergency Choices.

Between six and eight public
blow by the board of education at
its meeting this afternoon if it acts
favorably on the recommendation of
school authorities to reduce drasti-
cally their salaries. These teachers,
according to the officials, have been
given unsatisfactory teaching ratings
three times by their respective super
visory officers and consequently must
suffer the loss of their longevity pay,
together with the S240 bonus.
In several of the cases the reduc-
tions will amount to nearly $1,000 a
year. Most Of the teachers in ques-
ton will have between $500 and $500
cut from salaries annually.
Third Bad Rating Fatal.
The present policy Of the school
board, as provided by law, gives
teachers a period Of five years in
which to make good If they re-
ceive two unsatisfactory ratings
within this time they are warned by
the authorities of their doubtful
status.
If three unsatisfactory ratings are
charged against them within this
five-year period, their pay is reduced
to the minimum basic provided in the
appropriation bill, and the govern
ment bonus also Is discontinued.
."It is not a pleasant job" remarked
an oficial today, referring to the
necessity of cutting the teachers
wages, because they are. not doing
satisfactory work. But 1t has to be
done. The unsatisfactory teachers
must be weeded out of the school
system"
Wartime Necessity.
It was pointed out by this official
that unfortunately, number OF
teachers who are unable to meet the
teaching qualifications of today were
taken into the school system during
the war, when there was a shortage
Of teachers. Now, he said. these
teachers are the .ones who are being
embarrassed by having to suffer re-
ductions in thier pay.
The officials emphasized that they
aim to give the District public
schools an educationally qualified and
efficient teaching corps. and hope in
the, near future to eliminate all in
efficient and unqualified teachers.
