Botts, instrumental instructor, was retained, but will take a cut in salary. The reduced pay schedule effects a cut averaging ten per cent per teacher with Ihe exception ot two hired at Ike established minimal’, for first year teachers whose sal aries remain unchanged The entjre savings to the district will be $1712, six hundred and twenty-five of which was brought about by eliminating the vocal de partment.
