Trustees Shun Cut In Outlay
The Baytown school board reviewed a preliminary 1969-70 spending outline submitted by Supt. George H. Gentry. Salary hike requests from the Baytown Education Association and Baytown Classroom Teachers Association could total about 850000, with state aid uncertain. A Texas Legislature proposal for a 660 raise would require the district to cover about 60 percent, and two locally funded salaries would fall entirely on local funds. The board plans to study the financial picture for possible tax assessment changes.
