Alexandria Council
Is Asked 10 Provide
More Teachers Paw
Education Board Seeks
Boosts to Insure Full
Stuffs Next Term

The Alexandria City Council to-
day received a resolution from the
Board of Education requesting ap-
preparation of funds for additional
increases in teachers salaries.
The resolution calls for a request
for sufficient funds to raise the
minimum salary from $1,155 to
81 400 a year, and the maximum
from S1,755 to $4,000, with proper
tionate increases throughout the
scale.
The proposal is to make the salary
increase effective at the beginning
of the 194344 term and to make
provision in the school budget, which
will be passed next January, to con.
tinue the increase.
T. G. Williams, superintendent o.
schools, said the board favored max.
ing any increase which might come
from the State an addition to tn.
proposed new salaries.
Increa ed in '43 Budget.
Although Alexandria teachers re.
ceived salary increases in the 1874,
budget, the pay scale is still below
those in Washington and Arlington
and the board feels it is imperative
to maintain a sufficiently high sal.
ary scale to insure a complete teach.
ing staff next term.
The School Board voted to take
immediate steps to employ a pro.
fesSlonal adviser to make a survey
OF recreation needs in the city
preliminary to applying for Federal
funds for after-school and adult
recreation programs.
The council has authorized ar
appropriation up to $500 to pay for
such a survey, and Mr.. Williams is
hopeful that it can be completed In
time to have the program operating
by the end of the school year.
MIR. Williams said the board also
has changed the system of allowing
SICK leave for teachers so they now
Will have 10 days a year with the
privilege of carrying over unused
time from year to year. Teachers
had been given five days a year for
personal sick leaves, and five davs
for illness in their families, with NO
carry-over privilege.
Board to Hear Parents,
A special meeting of the board has
been called for Wednesday night to
hear a delegation of WASHINGTON
School parents who are asking that
temporary buildings he erected on
the school grounds to care for fifth
sixth and seventh grade children
VINO now are sent to jefferson School
Mr.. Williams said he is doubtful
that anything can be done to permit
the children to attend WASHINGTON
School through the entire elemen-
tary course. 1t is doubtful, he said,
whether priorities would be granted
Tor any additional construction when
there is room in the Jefferson School.
