Teachers to Ask for Raise of Pay Citywide
At tonight’s regular Board of Education meeting teachers will present a lengthy citywide salary increase request signed by most teachers. The group from each school will form the presenting delegation and withhold specifics until the board is informed. They seek a maximum of 900 and a new starting minimum of 550, with a uniform cap across grades. They plan a 100 raise over current pay, not an immediate jump to the max next year. A chimney fire at Edward W Harrall’s 123 Harrison Street required chemical extinguishing with no damage reported.
