Texas Lawmakers plan special session on teacher pay raise
Governor Shivers signals a special session as a committee approves a 402 dollar annual salary increase for teachers at an estimated 23 million dollar yearly cost. The plan awaits financing details and may begin in the 1954 55 school year. The move ties into tax and gas case debates before the Supreme Court and shapes state party battles, with liberal and conservative factions clashing over advisory council roles and 18 year old voting.
