Committee Studies Teacher Pay To Seek County Raise
A Board of Education committee was named to study teacher salaries with the aim of requesting county funds to grant a pay raise as of January 1. The group reviewed current county pay above state minimums and discussed a new state minimum effective September 1955. The plan would lift county salaries above the state minimum, with a county contribution increase tied to assessed valuation and a school tax rise. Additional budget items include funds for office supplies and a ban on certain fund‑raising methods, plus salary approvals and school transportation changes.
