Teacher Clashes With Legislator Over Pay Bill
In Austin on March 19 a clash erupted as the State Teachers Association legislative committee member was accused of misinforming or miscalculating the effects of the $55 per capita pay bill. About 1,000 teachers filled the senate gallery as a finance subcommittee opened hearings on three teacher salary bills. Senator Jim Taylor argued with H. W. Stillwell over a bulletin urging support for the per capita bill and countered that the plan would not guarantee a $2,000 minimum salary. Stillwell contended the per capita bill left insufficient funds, while the Proffer equalization bill would push districts like Nacogdoches to that level. The hearing featured sharp exchanges and strong assurances from advocates that the 50th legislature would raise teachers' pay. Stillwell, a legislative committee member, said 99 percent supported the per capita method. The debate centered on whether the $55 per capita plan or the equalization bill would best guarantee minimum salaries. (Continued on Page 12).
