Would Guarantee Teachers Share In Revenue Bill
Arkansas House debated a bill by Reps. Raymond Mays and Roscoe Brown to guarantee teachers the major share of increased school revenues. The measure would divert state funds above 54.5 million annually to teacher retirement or salaries and require 60 percent of increases in local funds over 1962 63 to go to salaries. It imposes a 7 percent floor of state aid for teachers and allows districts to cut teacher expenditures only if the number of teachers declines, replacing a earlier 1961 law.
