Effect of School Bill on Aid and Teacher Pay
The $208.5 million school bill signed by Gov. Lausche takes effect July 1 and will affect Athens County schools through minimum salary schedules and foundation aid. Districts with current operation levies of six mills for 1951–52 and eight mills for 1953 onward qualify for extra aid, with waivers for districts at four and a half mills in 1951. Teacher salaries rise by steps from $2000 to $2600 plus annual increases, and districts may phase in increases over two years. Foundation aid allocates 125 per pupil in grades 1–8 and 150 per pupil in grades 1–9, with adjustments for small schools. County Supt. George Christman notes many local districts are under six mills, and the extra aid ends after January 1, 1953 unless eight mills are adopted.
