Benton high school board seeks dismissal of teachers pay suit
The Benton Community Consolidated School District 47 Board of Education asked circuit court in Franklin County to dismiss a suit filed by 66 teachers seeking extra pay. The teachers claim under the 1979-80 contract they should receive an additional $225 each beyond already paid amounts based on a cost of living increase. They contend the board used a 10 percent CPI figure instead of 13 percent, which would raise due payments.
