Station, San Antonle 9, Taiai FEBRUARY 13. 1961 Requests retary for all ensuing budget meetings. The five school board members are members of the budget committee also. making a total of 10 working to prepare the budget to be submitted to county voters in May. Salary Increase Wally Eichler, vocational agriculture teacher from 111 inois Valley High school, act ed as spokesman for the teach ers' welfare committee in making a request concerning county teachers' salaries. He said that county teachers would like to be put on the same salary schedule as the proposed District in Grants Pass. He said it was the opin ion 6f the teachers that it was false reasoning for the teach' ers of the two districts not to be on the same salary scale, since all their other costs - living, housing, transporta tion, etc. - were the same. He quoted a figure of $20 050 which was what it would take to put 100 teachers in the county on the proposed District 7 schedule, but knowledged in answer to questions from committee members, that this did not in elude the amount of increase which would be present under the normal Increment system adopted in last year's budget, The board instructed Elmer Fleming, county school super lntendent, to find out the ex- act figure involved in these increments so that accurate figures would be available for their consideration. No action was taken on the request at this time. Flaming did, however, make the comment that even Dis trict 7's proposed salary schedule left it $400 below the starting teacher salary now offered in Roseuurg, and that the county's present fig ure was at least $600 below that amount. Study RaqueiU The remainder of the eve ning was spent in going over requests from individual schools made through local committees for equipment, supplies or repairs, from the maintenance and transporta tion departments, with an ex planation of each item being given as they were discussed. There was no attempt to de cide what should be allowed and what should be cut. Com mutes members were famil iarized with what each Item meant on their Individual copies of the budget. Mem bers agreed to make 11 p.m. closing time for future meet ings In order' to make it easier for those who traveled some distance to return home at a reasonable hour. It was also pointed out that there was little constructive discussion done after that time because members were fatigued and concentration on budget items becomes more difficult. The next meeting of the budget committee is to be held Fob. 20 at 8 p.m. In the office of the county superintendent. Any Interested voter is in vited to sit in on tnese ses sions. There were about 40 people present for Monday night's meeting.

Considers included in the summer ses sions. Summer school would meet four hours each week day for six weeks with ap proximately 30 students in each class.

No child will be forced to attend these ses sions. Sonne born indicated that he would do his best to get such a program under way.
