What Teachers Are Paid NOW Just what the 1961 General Assem¬ bly's education bill did for teachers' salaries is outlined in an article in the N. ('. School Bulletin, which we di¬ gest below. It shows a teacher can draw front North Carolina an annual salary as high as S5.605.50. if she holds the Graduate Certificate and has had 13 or more years of experience. To this is added — in some school systems — supplements ranging up to several hundred dollars a year. So. for the first time, a classroom teacher in higher than the regular maximum. A differential favors vocational teachers. And those who teach beyond the 9- nionths school year get substantially more. For example, an agricultural vo¬ cational teacher on a 12-months con¬ tract might, at the end of 13 years experience, receive from the state S7,- 632 per year. Principals' salaries vary according to the size school, but go up to $8,770 for a principal with 8 years or more experience serving a school with 42 or more teachers. Average increase for principals will be 21.13 per cent. Supervisors get a monthly salary about 10 per cent above the regular teacher schedule for ten months’ term, going up to $6,660. Superintendents' salaries start at $7,- 560 for beginners in smaller school systems, going up to $15,420 for the superintendent with 8 years’ experience in a system with 30.000 or more stu¬ dents. The superintendent with an ad¬ vanced certificate will get $30 per month on top of that, and the su¬ perintendent with a doctor's degree will get $50 additional monthly. To this also, we presume, may in some cases be added local supplementary salaries. Assistant superintendents will get $8,460 per year from the state. Next time you go... way!

Front this top. the scale runs down to S3, 607.50 per year for a teacher holding the А Certificate, and to this, also, is added a supplement in some counties and cities. These salaries are for a 185-day School year. The total average increase in annual salary is 22.4 per cent, the largest increase, we believe ever given to North Carolina school teachers at one time. A few teachers will make less than the "minimum” recorded above. These arc holders of "B" certificates (college graduates without practice teacher).
