School tax hike of one to two mills likely with teacher raise
The board faces a 1942 school tax increase of one to two mills depending on the salary boost for teachers for the coming term.

Debate included restoration of home economics in the curriculum, with dissent over cutting industrial training. The board split on awarding a flat raise versus targeted increases, with plans to have data for action on both salary and budget.
