Scottsdale School Board Eyes Higher Teacher Pay Amid Budget Talk
Scottsdale School Board President Gloria Welch says members are unanimous on raising teachers' salaries beyond the district’s $1,000 across the board offer. A four hour executive session focused on personnel cuts to fund the raise with a public budget meeting postponed to next week. The district faces a $593,000 cut for 1975 76, with options for five or ten percent reductions, plus possible administrative reorganization. The Scottsdale Federation of Teachers proposes cuts that could free about $2 million, and the union may accept $1,500 raises if admin cuts are made. Welch says administration will be asked to prepare another budget projection and direction if needed.
