Oltman summed up the school's. financial problems in answering objections to the suggestion that a vocal music teacher for the ele- mentary schools not be t~ired with the comment that he did not con- sider music a frill, that lie apprec- iated music, but, that he also ap- preciated a balanced budget. TIlE It, OAIH) voted to raise the starting salary on the salary sched- ule from $4,500 to $4,800 and to make an adjustmm:t the second year Lo bring this increase into the rest of the schedule. The schedule will now have a salary of $4,800 for both a first and sec- ond year teacher and $4,900 for a third-year teacher. The sched- ule was previously $4,500 for a first-year teacher, $4,700 for a second year teacher and $i,900 for a third year teacher. The salary increase will affect only one teacher, a new teacher who was hired by the board Tues- day night. The action was taken largely to improve the board's position in attracting new teachers to fill va.. tansies. The board, on Oltman's reconmtendation, signed contracts for seven new teachers Tuesday night. This leaves tour vacancies still to be filled, Oltm'.m said, Andy Tuson, chairman of the salary committee of the Shelton Education Associa.tion, objected to the starting salary increase ac- tion, stating that he believed sen'm- thing should be done to raise all salaries ratl:er than to rais,e the lower end of the schedule. Instead of taking this qction, which would benefit only a very few teachers in the 3ystenL Tuson said, the board should be consid- cring placing the special levy be- fore the voters again to gel ad- equate funds to operate tim dist- rict. TWO SCIIOOL board mentbers, Dr. Douglas Larson and Mrs. Vir- ginia Martig, said they believed that the special levy should be snbmittt~d again. Board mmflber B. Franklin Heuston stated that he did not think anything a.long tills line shouhl be done tmtil the board has time to discuss the prob- lem with Robert Quiggle, who will succeed Oltman as Superintend- ent July 1. The school board received rec- ommendations fronl the citizen's advisory committee on the lihrary. They concluded that the library should not bc used as a study troll, that additional funds: should bc spent over the next few years to bring the nunlber of volumes "up Io 6,000, tee. nlminu.un standard suggb~sted by the state and tha.I. exLcllded hollrs for the library shouhl be considered. The board rejected all bids on tWO school bUSSCS opened at the :last. meeting, The rejection catne because of a lack oil f/rods for the ptu'c]:ase of the bus~es. The bus bids had been sought before the defeat of the special lcvy, which would have provided mousy for the purchase.
