' The lowest salary drawn by a teacher with a bachelor’s degree in the jEctor County Indejiehdent School District, which includes the city of Odessa, will be $3,000. These were figures released yesterday by Charles H. Ten nyson, Public Relations Director for the Texas State Teach ers Association. • jl j I Questionai re Results Tennyson said replies of 633 superintendents to R question- aire he had sent out on salary schedules indicated that many j teachers will be drawing pay comparable to or better than that of college faculty members. , Some 40 percent of the public school teachers are in dis tricts that will pay above the state minimum fixed in the Gilmer-Aiken Laws passed by the 51st Legislature, he ifenprtecU ]' . j •; . :! The minimums vary from $2,403 for a beginning teacher with a bachelor’s degree to $3,051 after 12 years experience and from $2,628 for a new teacher with a master’s degree to $4,032 at the end of 26 years; i . J j i School districts with fower than 5,000 scholastics will pay the salaries set in the minimum foundation program act in most instances, Tennyson said. |j, j Salary Raises - J: • i “Many schools indicated that it might prove possible to supplement salaries before the end, of the year,” he added. Sixty-nine schools reported schedules above the minimum. Additionally, 46 districts offer more than the minimum for special teachers. This includes Coaches, and Directors, De partment Heads, and Directors of Special Activities. Including these latter districts; 424,838 scholastics live in districts that will pay above the state minimum. Dallas and Fort Worth Salaries ] Fort Worth and Dallas offer some of the most attractive salaries. The Fort Worth schedule spreads from $2,500 to $4,100 for teachers with Bachelor’s degrees and from $2,700 to $4,300 for those with master’s degrees. Dallas will p v ay only slightly less: $2,450 to $4,000 for Bachelor-degree teachers, and $2,650 to $4,300 for holders of Master’s degrees, V ^ Tennyson said Ector County’s schedule was “One 00 the best.” It streches from $3,000 to $3,900 for those with Bache lor’s degrees and from $3,050 to $4,300 for those with Mas ter’s. Many of the districts have raised the minimums for teach ers with Bachelor’s degrees almost to the level of those with Master’s, apparently feeling that possession of the higher degree does not merit the difference in salaries established in the States minimum scale. { • BUSINESS SERVICES* j ENROLL NOW FOR new «1 September' 12 in shorthflp init; and associated subjecta limited.
