Ten Teacher Groups
Approve Salary Plans
Proposed by Corning
By Colt .Hendley, Jr.

Ten local teacher organizations
yesterday approved in general
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning's
proposal to revamp the teacher
salary scale and increase salaries.
But each group had some item
of the proposal to criticize when
spokesmen appeared before a
Joint meeting of the School
Boards Personnel and Legislative
Committees. DR.. Corning will re-
port back to the School Board
after studying the teachers sug-
|gestions.
For teachers, the proposed SAL
aries would start at $500 and go
to IS 600 in 10 years with a bache-
lor'S degree. With masters de-
gree, the beginning salary would
be $1,000 and go to $1,000. Thirty
hours of credits above masters
degree would call for a salary OF
$1,000 to $1,000.
Present teachers salaries range
from the beginning salary OF
$3.50 to $5.313. There is no pro-
vision for extra pay for credits
earned above masters degree.

Objections Raised.
! DR.. Corning told School Boar
members that he and his officer
were committed to the need for
better and higher pay schedule
He said that it should be con
sidered now even though al
!; economy drive was on in Congress
}. Objections raised to the propose
included:
The present $500 differential be
tween salaries of teachers wit
bachelors degrees and master
degrees should be maintained
The proposal would cut this t
$500 except in the last step.
The beginning salary for teach
ers holding masters degree
should be higher.
The proposal makes too grea
a difference between teacher.
salaries and officers salaries.
All principals, and assistan
principals should be on the sam
salary scale rather than differen
scales depending on which leve
of the system they are in.
