Common council, in its current
review of the l943-44 expenditures,
favorably inclined today
to restore S747,000 - the school
budget for equalization of teach-
ers' pay which had been turned
down by Mayor Jeffries.
The plan. as explained to the
council by School Board President
Frank A. German, provides that
grade and intermediate school
teachers receive the same salaries
as high school instructors.
1t also provides that teachers be
given yearly step salary increases
at the rate of $500, instead of the
present 500. This would not raise
their maximum pay but would en-
able them to reach their maximum
in five years instead If nine years.
IL always have thought that
elementary teachers needed as
mucR skill as high school teach
ers," Councilman Rogell said.
ANY teachers who can handle
my kids are wonders and are
worth as much as any high
school teacher in the city,"
