Show Volume Eighty Eureka. Utah December (. 1 DS 20' 1 Number 49 Utah Foundation TJOGOfife Teachers salary schedules in the Tintic School District were boosted an average of 5.00 percent this year, This was disclosed by Utah Foun- - dation, the research private organization, in its regular annual analysis of teacher salary changes in Utah In addition to this overall increase in the salary schedule, many teachers in the Tintic School District also received normal experience increments averaging 4.66 percent and 0.5 percent in increased take-hom- e pay resulting from a reduction in the required retirement contribution. As a result, the total in- - crease in the take-hom- e pay for most teachers in the Tintic District amounted to 10.16 percent. Teachers, who currently are at the top step of the salary scale will, of course, benefit only from the change in the salary schedule plus the reduced retirement charge. According to the Foundation report, the beginning salary for a classroom teacher with a bachelors degree in the Tintic School District amounted to $14,285 this year. The salary schedules provide regular increases for experience and for added academic training. As a result, experienced teachers with a masters degree receive a maximum salary of $24,570 in 1984-8or about 72 percent more than the beginning salary for a teacher with only a bachelors degree. It would take 11 years to reach this maximum salary level. Foundation analysts point out that the above amounts are taken from the published district salary schedules which are based on 5 teaching days or proximately of actual service. about nine months also The 1984 appropriated more than $15 million which will be used by local school districts to formulate new career-ladde- r programs.
