Education leaders warn of teacher pay gaps and shrinking surplus
Committee One discusses the impact of inadequate salaries on rural teachers with a mid 1918 salary of 804 or 67 per month and 959 earning less. Mullins notes a dwindling $1,000,000 surplus across 31 counties, down to 285,908 by 1940-41, with fourteen counties facing budget cuts totaling 60,281 and rising attendance driving demand for 231,944 more funds. Delinquent taxes are questioned as an asset while current collections ranged 44 to 96 percent across 22 counties, signaling funding challenges ahead.
