School pay raise approved after trimming teachers demands
The School Committee approved a roughly 30 percent salary increase over the 1967-68 base of 4800, after deleting requests for universal free lunches, full dues payment, and a 100 per teacher premium toward major medical insurance. Chairman Louis DeAngelis cautioned public sentiment would be unfavourable for free lunches. The panel also instructed Supt Cushman to warn St Francis College president that future damage to district property could terminate the gym use contract, currently 50 dollars per game, and granted St Margaret’s gym use for summer masses at 300 dollars with an option for another summer.
