Victory for DC Teachers Longevity Pay Ruling End of Controversy
The comptroller's decision favors District of Columbia public school teachers on longevity pay and service length for the annual increase. It holds that a teacher with a June permanent appointment is entitled to the September raise, and that 500 hours of fractional District or outside teaching count toward longevity. The ruling affects future years and underscores the annual increase after June 30, 1907, regardless of when service began within the school year.
