Coolidge Gives
Wage increase
TO All Teachers
Other Schools In County
Grant Pay Rises Ranging
from $lU0 To $500 A
Year

A cost OF living wage increase
has been granted teachers in the
Coolidge elementary schools, pro-
yiding an average wage rise OF
$3.50 year, according to Robert w.
taylor. principal OF the elemen-
tary schools here.
The increase to be based upon
a cost OF living index OF l30 as an
nounced by the government but the
school board assuming that the in
dex will rise above that figure has
arranged that the money viii be
held for them and be paid off in the
form of bonus at the end of the
year.
Ii the index rises from 1870 to
l40 the difference of 10 points will
be used in estimating the amount
of salary, giving $500 boost to
the scale already established for
a $4,000 rating. The board also set
$4,000 as the base for cost of living
adjustment.
While the elementary schools get
their increase on a sliding scale,
the high school has provided an av-
erage $3.50 a year increase for all
teachers.
Throughout the county commun-
tiles, realizing that in many cases
teachers have been unable to keep
up with the cost OF living, have
granted pay rises.
At Ray high and grammar school
blanket increase of 800 has been
granted in most cases.
Casa Grande has granted 500
blacket increase to high school
teachers, while elementary school
teachers will average an increase
OF approximately $120 a year.
Eloy grammar school has adopt
ed an average $40 a month increase
for its teachers.
For the first time in its history
Superior high and grammar schools
have adopted a wage schedule with
annual increases granted begin.
ming at $3.50 in el e m e t "a ry
schools. The average increase will
be 5000 but one case provides the
teacher with jump of $500 year
The Superior schools are also pro-
viding a five-year experience al
lowance from other schools.
