Pay Raises Of Teachers Cancelled
An NEA official says salary increases for 1945-46 teachers are erased by rising prices. The average salary for teachers, principals, and supervisors was about $2,000 for 1945-46, with 1946-47 likely not rising enough to preserve purchasing power. A December 1945 salary of 200 needed 236 in December 1946 to buy the same goods, yet 236 bought only what 150 did before the war. He notes tax changes since 1939 affected budgets and schedules.
