School board president Brewer defended a planned salary increase for teachers for 1944-45, claiming raises total $946,867 over the prior budget. He dismissed the notion he opposes raises and argued increases are funded by state aid and higher local taxation. He noted past raises totaled $447,950, with salaries rising despite more teachers and a growing taxable base.
