Maine Teachers Association votes to empower ethics actions
The Representative Assembly of the Maine Teachers Association approves an amendment to its constitution enabling the executive committee to suspend or expel members on the recommendation of the rights and responsibilities committee. Mary Boone becomes president, Bernard Dubay named president-elect, J. Weldon Russell as vice president, with new executive committee members listed. The body also raises dues to 15 dollars for members and 12 for associates and seeks higher teacher salaries and a code of ethics. It urges a statewide survey on potential increases in certified teachers and expects federal aid progress in 1963 depending on member action.
