Governor considers special session for teacher pay raise
Governor Earl Long indicated after the November election he would seriously consider calling a special session to provide a teacher pay raise. A legislative study group reported a plan to fund about half the raise approved in 1956, though it noted a tax measure would be needed for full funding. Long stressed seeking a permanent, year to year solution beyond temporary relief and noted funds might be diverted up to 16 million dollars, despite a state deficit.
