Governors Suggest Agreements On Teacher Pay in Maryland
Governor Nice urged county boards of education to reach amicable agreements to set equal minimum pay for white and Negro teachers to avoid court action over the state law. The law fixes white teachers at 600 dollars per year and Negro teachers at 40 dollars per month, with higher figures for high school staff. He warned that a court ruling could require equal salaries costing about 500 thousand dollars annually, possibly forcing pay cuts for white teachers if funds are unavailable.
