Fund Drive For Teacher Raises In Wicomico
Wicomico County residents will fund a raise for teachers to bridge the gap between the state scale and local pay. The drive, coordinated by the county PT A, aims to raise about 34 000 dollars for a 840 dollar differential, with a goal of 400 dollars per teacher. Everett Conaway named chairman to organize the campaign. Estimated cost is roughly 5 dollars per student in county schools to meet the 34 000 dollar need. Several contributions have been offered, including a 500 dollar pledge. New teaching contracts reflecting the raise have been issued to teachers who had refused to sign previously, with consideration given to after school hours work for outside employment.
