Long Service Pay Ruling Expands District School Powers
Comptroller of the Treasury R J Tracewell orders an expansion of the District of Columbia public schools pay rules. The decision allows longevity pay to be added when teachers are promoted or demoted under new laws, reverses a prior ruling, and gives the board of education authority to adjust class assignments with longevity considerations. The ruling specifies how longevity years are counted for various promotion and demotion scenarios within set salary maximums.
