its bargain position for teachers,
it must meet the competition,
especially important because the
city has a new high school to
staff in the fall.
Mr.. Williams said Federal and
State funds the school system
will receive make it likely the
additional 500 raise can be put
into effect. In its vote, the board
stressed that If the raise was to
be granted it must be done with
out increasing the budget sub
mitted to the City Council.
Plan Driving Lessons
In other action, the board vot-
ed to introduce behind-the-
wheel driver training in the city's
three high schools next year. The

asking the City Council for an
increase in the school budget.
In the budget just presented
to the council. the teachers
would get raise from their
present starting salary of So, $50
to $500. with corresponding
increases up through the scale.
