Vote May Fix Teachers' Pay Plan Proposed for City Schools
City superintendent Frank B. Cooper urged the school board to place a ballot measure on the next election to set a maximum wage scale for teachers. The plan would cap grade teachers at 1800 and high school instructors at 2100 with nine promotion steps based on years of service. Director Bhorrock favored thirteen steps, while industrial and special teachers would share the classification with grade teachers. If adopted Seattle would top salaries outside New York.
