School Teachers Lose Pay as New DC Board Delays Reappointments
Comptroller Tracewell says the 1906 school act abolished the old Board of Education. The new board must appoint a secretary by July 1, making W. W. Conner's six day delay in reappointment trigger a six day unpaid salary. If teachers face similar treatment, total losses could reach about $75,000 across the district.
