Erie County Teachers to Gain Salary Boost Pending Senate Action
Erie county elementary and high school teachers would gain minimum salaries under a state bill approved by the county board and sent to the senate. The measure would raise elementary pay from 800 to 1000 dollars and high school from 1170 to 1200 with two annual 50 dollar increments. Dr. Willis B Pratt notes many schools already exceed the new minimum, and increments would apply after nine years. Fourth class district leaders have long pressed for equitable raises.
