If approved at Thursday’s meeting, the city would allocate 28 450 for teachers and 8 800 for janitors retroactive to January 1 for janitors and September for teachers.

The package includes a new progressive schedule for most teachers and a 200 annual raise for each janitor, financed by the 1953 budget.
