Show CACHE TEACHERS GET PAY HIKE Board Votes Increase Of 10 Per Cent for '43-46 Teacher's salary schedules for the Cache county school district calling for a general increase of about 10 per cent for the 1945-46 school year, were approved at a meeting of the district board of education, Superintendent J. W. Kirkbride announced today. Mr. Kirkhride said the schedule sched-ule was determined following a series of meetings and the board authorized issuance of contracts to teachers in conformity to the new pay scale. The contracts will be forwarded at once. Negotiations on the Janitors and bus drivers' contracts were reported re-ported to the board for study. They will be adopted at the next meetirg on May 3, the superin. tendent announced. An increase of approximately $27,000 will be added to the district budget to take care of the recommended increase, which puts the Cache teacher salary schedule above that of the approved ap-proved minimum adopted for the state. Teachers with two years training train-ing will begin at a salary of $1000 per year while those with a three-year normal certificate will receive $1150 per year. An increase of $50 per year for each year's service in the district will be provided until a maximum of $1850 or 16 years service is reached, Mr. Kirkbride explained. A considerable increase awaits those with bachelor's degrees. They will receive $1450 per year with the regular $50 per year increase in-crease and a maximum of $2250 while an instructor with a master's mas-ter's degree will start at $1550 with the $50 increase and maximum maxi-mum of $2400.
