Salaries Of Teachers Offer Problem To Board
The North Carolina Board of Equalization debates whether the 10 percent salary cut for 1931 should apply to the 1930 31 salary schedule or the 1929 30 schedule. Supporters insist credit for the 1930 31 increment must stand, else many teachers face steeper reductions and a breach of contract claims. The issue centers on state law, with board members noting it left room for interpretation and urging adherence to the assembly's evident intent.
