A nine state survey shows Kansas among the top five in average starting salaries for teachers with $16,200 in 1986 87 behind Minnesota Wisconsin and Missouri Ottawa reports a $14 590 starting pay and Iowa’s plan to raise to 18 000.

His performance could win support for a Supreme Court appointment or an honorary honor if Reagan remains in office.
