PORTLAND/OBSERVER Thursday, Feb. 25, 1971
Board of Education
The Board of Education of
the Portland P ublicS choolsFri.
made a two-year salary offer to
the teachers of Portland through
the Portland Association
of
Teachers, official elected con­
sultation representative fo r the
d is tric t. The fir s t year proposal
calls fo r increasing the salaries
fo r teachers alone by 5.26 per
cent at a cost to the d is tric t of
51, 802,355. When the Profess­
ional Growth lice n tive Program
medical insurance increases ,
and salary-related fixed com -
pensation totals approximately
52,115,000 — or an increase in
cost to the school d is tric t of
5.56 per cent
The offered salary guide lis t
a beginning salary fo r a n e w
bachelor’ s degree holder of
57, 210. The masimum salary
on the guide is 513,527.
A
t e a c h e r holding a doctorate
could earn as much as 511,027
reveals
Longevity factors fo r teachers
at the top of the scale have
also been increased. The sec­
ond-year offer, while not ident­
ified in detail, proposes an ec­
onomic package equal to cost-
o f-living increase plus 3 per
cent fo r the 1972 -7 3 f is c a l
year.
The amount of the offer was
developed as the result of an
intensive study of the schools
d is tr ic t’ s projected resources
and expenditures fo r the next
two school years. Board i.iem -
realize they must recognize the
inflationary pressures on the
d is tric t’ s staff if a quality ed­
ucational program is to be main
tamed. A t the same tim e
th e
Board feels an obligation to the
public to make its request fo r
a special operating levy this
spring a reasonable one, and...
the Board recognizes that with
out additional funding it w ill
not have the resources to pro­
vide additional salaries fo r its
staff.
Included in the Board’ s pro­
posal is the phasing out
of
model school premium pay over
a three year period. C urrently,
tenure teachers In nineelemen
tary
schools and one
h ig h
school receive additional com­
pensation of 5 1,000 a year, while
probationary teachers at those
schools are given 5500 in pre­
mium pay.
A fter consideration of ail the
various
and diverse factors
bearing upon salary decisions ,
the Board members believe the
offer to be a reasonable
one
and hope that agreement onall
m atters
can be consummated
soon.
