Parish Ordered to Even Scales in Teacher Pay
Federal judge Herbert Christenberry ordered Jefferson Parish School Board to equalize pay for negro and white teachers with similar qualifications. The ruling follows a suit by Eual Mae Lee filed in 1943, noting pay disparity: $675 for a black teacher versus at least $1,370 for a white teacher. The board aims to remove the 20 percent gap within two years, as new salary schedules and state allotments drive higher pay for all teachers.
