Annual Pay Hikes Urged For Teachers
Rep Lawrence Gibbs of Monroe urged the Louisiana Teachers Association to push an annual salary increase for teachers, proposing a 6 million dollar yearly rise to prevent waiting eight years for raises. He discussed the plan with Gov McKeithen and noted the 1964 legislature approved half the new salary schedule, seeking the remainder. Gibbs warned that second class education leaves Louisiana short of qualified workers as new jobs rise.

Senators Expand Big Education Bill
The Senate subcommittee approved unanimously a $5.5 billion five year program for higher education, far above Johnson's request and broader than the House. It would fund scholarships for needy students, aid colleges with rising enrollments, and improve education in poverty areas. A national teacher corps provision is not included, though separate House legislation backs it. The first year would authorize $36.1 million for about 6,000 teachers.
