Page 12/The Battalion/Wednesday, November 30,1983 Teachers’ raise proposed United Press International AUSTIN — The Texas Asso ciation of School Boards Tues day proposed a pay schedule that would hike annual salaries for first-year teachers from $11,100 to $15,000 and make it easier for them to earn even higher salaries. Association director David Thompson also said school board members support in creases in the sales and motor fuels taxes to generate an addi tional $1.1 billion in revenues for education. Thompson made the presen tation to the House Education Committee, which opened a series of hearings to coincide with the Select Public Education Committee headed by H. Ross Perot. The Perot committee is con ducting a wide-ranging investi gation into Texas’ education sys tem in advance of a special ses sion that is expected to address, ?f|p National Collegiate Fun Weeks 3|jp Steamboat-Springs, Colorado ^ January 2-7 & January 9-14 YOUR WINTER BREAK GREAT SKI ESCAPE INCLUDES: |*6 days/5 nights deluxe lodging. 1*4 day lift ticket.

In addition to recommend ing higher starting salaries, the school board association also proposed narrowing the gap be tween steps in various pay classi fications. Thompson said school board members believe teachers should be able to advance to higher classifications based on experience and advanced train ing rather than only on degrees. “We think we place far too much emphasis on the degree alone, particularly those that are not even in your subject field,” he said. The association’s tax plan calls for a 1-cent increase in the state sales tax, which would be earmarked for education, and a 5-cent hike in the motor fuels tax to be split between education and highways. With the number of students enrolled in Texas public schools increasing by as many as 80,000 a year, Thompson said there is a need for new revenues. Chairman Bill Haley, D- Center, who is a member of both the House panel and the Perot committee, said no recommen dations would be made until April. The committees are appa rently setting the stage for a summer special session of the Legislature. SELLER’S/NEEDED NOW NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL YOUR CONDOMINIUM OR HOME.

Dr. Courand Rothe, direc- tor of the Metropolitan Health District, said it was confirmed this weekend that another Trinity student has typhoid, bringing the total number of victims to contract the disease to eight. Seven of the victims are Trinity students. One victim — a 28-year-old ophthalmo logist’s assistant — is not a stu dent, but ate meals on a regu lar basis at the Trinity cafeter ia, officials said. All eight victims apparent ly ate tossed salads at the school cafeteria, said Dr. Robert F. Bell, the health dis trict’s director of communic able diseases. “A lot of them ate very little else,” Bell said. Rothe said it was reported to the health district tkiJ non-student frequently] the salads at the cafen “That (the salad) isju of the angles we thougliJ would give special atte to,” Rothe said.

H. Ross Perot, chairman of the Texas State Select Commit tee on Public Education, was speaking to the Fourth Annual Conference for Administrators of Smaller Schools. “We’ve got schools in our state that are so big that if you’re the quarterback and you’re not winning nobody knows who you are,” Perot said. “We’ve got to get away from those monster schools.” “Small schools are magic,” he said, adding that children recog nized for their individualism while growing up frequently are founa in leadership roles as adults. He predicted that within a few years the state would pro vide the same educational out lets to children living in rural areas as provided to children in urban areas. “Within five years, in the most remote, modest little schoolhouse in Texas, your math genius can sit down to a computer terminal,” Perot said. He said gifted students any where in the state would have the chance to take college-level courses while still in high school. Meanwhile, he said, the peo ple of Texas have to find a way to equalize the amount of money available to various school dis tricts. He said some districts have trouble paying the light bill while other aistricts builc at elementary schools. “Either we are going to address this as Texans or some judge is going to give us an answer we’re not goingu he warned.
