Sevier Teachers Received Record Salary Boost In 1 980 Salary schedules for bachelor-degre- e teachers in the Sevier School District were boosted by an average of $1,565, or 12.1 per cent this year. In addition, most teachers not at the top of the salary scale also received an annual increment experience averaging another $560. Thus the total increase for a teacher who had not reached the top step averaged about $2,133, or 16.5 per ca,t:tfring the imfi-8school year. These were some of the facts reported by Utah Foundation the private research organization, in their 1 ' regular annual analysis of teacher salaries in Utah. The study notes that total salary increases (schedule increases plus increment increases) averaged $2,173 or 16.7 throughout the State and ranged from 14.2 per cent in Grand County School District to 29.5 in Emery County School District. The Emery increase, however, included a special salary supplement of between $1,855 and $2,150, which was provided from voted leeway funds. This salary supplement was furnished to Emery school personnel in order to attract and retain teachers in this rapidly county. growing, energy-ric- h The starting salary for a teacher with a bachelors degree in Sevier School District this year is $11,582. The salary schedules include regular increases for experience and added academic training. Thus, experienced teachers with a masters degree would receive up to $19,583 in the Sevier District. Foundation analysts point out that the average starting salary in Utah this year is $11,736, and the average maximum salary for a teacher with a masters degree is $20,402. Beginning salaries in Utah for a teacher with a bachelors degree range from $11,273 in Iron District to $13,625 in Emery District. Maximum salaries for a teacher with a masters degree vary from $17,685 in Piute District to $22,341 in Murray School District. All of the above salary amounts are 5 for approximately teaching days or about nine months of actual service. Teachers with special duties and those who teach summer school, of course, would receive added compensation for such service. According to the Foundation, a teacher with a bachelors degree who began teaching in the Sevier School District during the 1975-7- 6 school year received $8,148. Today, that same teacher with five years of experience which would receive $14,091, represents an increase of $5,943 or 72.9 jper cent for the five year period. Approximately $4,803 of that increase represents changes in the salary schedules and $1,140 represents annual salary step increments.

State law requires motorists who are approaching and following school daring this period. Utah school districts encourage teachers to seek added academic training by providing additional compensation and more step advances for teachers who obtain training beyond the bachelors buses to stop when the red lights of the bus are flashing.
