County may have to find more funds for teacher pay rise
The Frederick County Board of Education and Frederick County Teachers Association reached a 6.5 percent salary increase, higher than the planned 3 to 4 percent. Budget director Harold K. Keller warned commissioners may need extra education funding in fiscal 1986 starting July 1. Assistant to the superintendent Donald Z. Koons said the budget will be amended for the March 1 submission. State aid is not expected to increase to cover the raise unless unexpected funds arrive.

School board and teachers approve 6.5 percent raise pact
Frederick County teachers and the Board of Education tentatively agreed to a 6.5 percent raise and a 6.5 percent salary increase next year, plus a starting-teacher incentive to aid recruitment. The accord, announced at a Friday news conference, aims to restore salary losses from inflation while avoiding tax increases. Beginning teachers would earn 316,500 under the agreement, with more lucrative scales continuing until tenure after two years.
