TEACHERS TO GET VOUCHERS WITH PAY RAISE NEXT WEEK Four And Three - Quarter Months Of 20 Per Cent Benefit To Go Along With Normal Pay Teachers of Brunswick County will get their retroactive pay in creases along with their seventh Jrionth voucher sometime next week, acording to information ob tained today from the office of | the Board of Education. ' One voucher will carry the j Whole works and this will include! the normal pay for a month, plus | four and three-fourth months of Increases. ' I Actually that won't be the way I it will be broken down. The book J keeper's records will show a 20 l cent increase covering three and I three-quarter months and then j the seventh month based on the j new rate of pay. Here is how the increase will (effect a teacher's voucher if she (has been getting exactly $200 per month. She will get $150 in re troactive increase and $240 for the the seventh month. Her voucher, not including deductions, would total $390. Mrs. Pauline Clemmons, clerk for the Board of Education, cleared up the confusion as to COOK & HEAT WITH ESSOTANE GAS ? SEE ?

G. what the General Assembly did for the teachers in the way of increases for the current year. The 20 per cent increase, figur ing the full nine months, covers ?six months and 15 days. The seventh month voucher takes care of four months and j 15 days and the eighth and ninth j vouchers will carry the former base . pay and the 20 per cent increase, j- Many teachers have misunder stood earlier reports on the in crease in pay, but it was pointed j out today that it should be fair-1 1 ly easy for them to figure the' salary raise if they would base j , the total benefit on 20 per cent j of their wages for six and three 1 fourth months. j What the general assembly did was to provide increases to all State emplokees for three quar-1 ;ters of the fiscal year. A truck j driver works 12 months anS he | got increases for nine months. A classified principal *works 101 months and he gets increases for; seven and one-half months. A classroom teacher works nine months and her increase covers six and three-quarter months. The principal point for teachers to keep in mind is that she will get the 20 per cent increase for four and three-quarter months at the same time she gets her nor mal pay around the 11th or 12th of April and thereafter her J voucher will include the normal pay and the increase. Even less confusion may arise j in the mind of the teacher if she , will sit down and figure three I fourths of her salary for the en i tire term and then get 20 per | cent of that total. | The increase for the fiscal year 'which ends June 30, 1949 has no [relation to the salary schedule for the next two years. The appro priations bill must be enacted be fore salaries for the biennium are determined.
