Teachers and Governor Reach Salaries Agreement
Agreement reached last night between Cherry and Dr. McDonald and A B Wilkins on teacher salaries for the next two years. The plan uses the budget total plus a $120 annual bonus, with a new schedule by the State Board that pays veterans more and new teachers less, possibly from about $130 to $180 monthly. The $ bonus will be paid in nine installments with regular pay. Critics note the timing amid NCEA actions, yet the compromise satisfies funding limits and offers future raises if conditions allow.
