Are Salaries The Issue? Comparison Is Difficult Whats stories on teachers salaries In Utah? the This Is the principle Issue in most school controversies and, although Utah teachers have said they are not necessarily seeking higher salaries, the first point In the Utah Education Associations Resolution for Action calls for a shorter work year at the same salary. The resolution asks that the school year be cut from 180 to 170 gays without a resultant reduction of teachers salaries. Using figures from the Interim report issued by the Governors school study committee, heres how teachers salaries compare with the U.S. average and wlthslmilarvstate merit system Jobs. The average splary for a Utah teacher In 1963 was $5,879' which Is 98.5 percent of the national average, $5,963 Thus, teachers here on 6ie average receive about $84 per year less than the average across the nation. The fact that teachers dont work a full year has been argued pro and con, for most taxpayers however the shorter work year simply confuses a comparison of salary schedules. Compared toother state merit system Jobs, teachers per diem pay measures favoraccountant working for for the state receives a starting daily pay of $20.55, based on 250 working days at an An annual salary of $5,136. A public health staff nurse starts at $16.90 per day, a chemist - - college trained - - gets the teacher has public health nurse and works 70 days less. The starting teacher at the bottom of the pay scale is earning $4,452 annually, In addition, the extra 70 (14 five-da- y work weeks) to earn $684 to match the starting salary of a state accountant. If the teacher has a masters degree the annual starting pay Jumps to 4,680 annually in the Granite School District or $25.40 per than the starting chemist, accountant or public health nurse. The teachers Resolution for Action calls for 170 working das Instead of the present 180 total school days. If the work year were thus shortened, the effect would be to raise minimum salaries from $120. 50 per week to $131.00, a raise of nearly 10 percent. Thats the beginning, but what does the future hold for the individual who commits himself to a teaching career. Granite School District officials say that raises are' almost automatic over a 15 year period $180 per year after the first year, for Instance until the teacher reaches $7,104 annually with a bachelors degree or $7,404 If a masters degree has been earned. This Is for the teacher who does not advance in the system and can be compared with the Individual In private Industry who works at the same Job for his whole career. However, In the Granite day-mo- state-requir- School in fi opport- unity for advancement. The system Is expanding at a rapid rate and Its policy Is to advance from within the organiz- ation. For Instance, the Governors report says that the Granite District is expected to add 925 new classrooms by 1968. This means new schools, new supervisory positions which must be filled. The more ambitious teacher can, therefore, look forward to moving up the school system ladder. What does this mean In terms of Income? An assistant principal in an elementary school In the Granite School District starts at $7,547 and in five years moves up to a typical salary of $8,447 per years. The principal of an elemen- re ed District great tary school "starts at $8,592 annually and within five years earns $9,492. The Junior high school principal starts at $9,392 and reaches $10,292 with five annual $180 raises. And a senior high school principal In the Granite Districts salary ranges from a beginning $10,392 and goes up to a typical salary of $11,292 per year. The next move for a teacher would be Into the administrative staff of the school district Itself - - expanding and constantly In need of more supervisory personnel. These -salaries are negotiated with the school board but It can safely be assumed that these positions would carry salaries exceeding those of. school principals. -- particular GRAVELY CONCERNED School District Superintendent Elmer C.

They had a little power failure at Fort Walton Beach, Florida last week and two guys found the difficulty. High on top of a fifty foot power pole, there was a jeep!

No Herman, you Go ahead. call It in . . .1 dont see a thing. But, there, It was. . .so, when they finally called, they got the obvious reaction on the other end., . .but It actually happened. A Jeep had been accidentally parachuted out of an aircraft and It lit on top the pole. (No, everythings all right now, but theres a lot of coffee being consumed In Fort Walton Peart, Florida, now.)

Theres an Indian medicine man named Kakeekakee Sic who Just celebrated his birthday In a town In Minnesota. He said he was born after the return of the wild geese," and shortly before the Ice left the Lake of the Woods! (According to local historians, that would make him 120 years old.)
