School Board Ratifies Salaries
The Lawrence School District 497 Board of Education ratified a teacher and administrator salary agreement Monday night. The ratification was one of several actions taken by the board to come to grips with the district's financial situation.
One of the agreement's main points deals with increasing the salary base for district teachers and administrators. This will be possible only if a sum in excess of $100,000 is available from the State Board of Tax Appeals to help fund special education and vocational education programs at their present levels.
The district will request $22,000 for these programs. If the entire sum is granted, a $115 increase in the teacher salary base would result.
THE SALARY AGREEMENTS were
Capitol-Journal Photographer Wins Pulitzer
NEW YORK (AP) - The Washington Post won the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for meritorious public service for its coverage of the Watergate scandal. The newspaper's columnist, David Broder, also won a senate award for commentary.
The feature photography award won was by Brian Lanker of the Topeka Capitol
The prize for national affairs reporting went to Robert Boyd and Clark Hoyt of the Knight Newspapers, whose disclosure of the psychiatric background of Sen. Thomas Eagleton, D-Mo., led to his withdrawal as the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
Associated Press photographer Nick Ut, a 23-year-old Vietnamese, won the spot news photography award for his picture of a 9-year-old girl who was screaming and screaming from a papalum bombing.
In the arts, the frustees of Columbia University in charge of the awards process named Jasper Miller's "That Championship Season" as the best drama of the year. Edurt Welly won the fiction award for The Optimist's daughter" and the non-fiction prize "Fire in the Lake": zagaree her 'Fire in the Lake': The Vietnamese and the Americans in Vietnam," and Robert Coles for his Volumes II and III of "Children of Crisis."
negotiated for teachers between the Lawrence Education Association (LEA) negotiators and the board of education's negotiators. For administrators, a separate group met with the superintendents of the district to negotiate.
A 74.55 percentage of any amount in excess of $100,000 the amount needed to keep the transportation, special education and vocational programs at their present level, will be applied to implement the present salaries schedule.
If the appeals are granted, the salary base would move from $4,435 to $6,550.
All agreements negotiated by the LEA will apply to the administrators where applicable. Salary schedules will be issued for all members of the administration.
Eighty per cent of their total salary increase, which will be based on whatever percentage is applied to teacher salaries after the decision on the appeals is made, will be divided equally among the 39 district administrators. The remaining 20 per cent will deal with inequities and recognition of superior performance.
A NEW SABBATICAL leave program in the agreement would allow one teacher and one administrator, both of whom had been with the district for at least six years, to receive 50 per cent of their pay while continuing their education for one year. The persons on sabbatical would have to return to the district for two more years after the leave.
William Bradley, president of the board, announced that at this time the board did not foresee closing either Grant or Riverside grade schools next year. He said that the board had suggested to the facilities committee that other suggestions be studied.
The board approved changing the boundary of an area west of Kasold, south of 6th street, north of 15th Street and east of Sunset Hills from Dearfield grade school to Sunset Hills.
Ken Fisher, assistant superintendent of business and facilities, said that Deerfield was currently overcrowded and that Sunset Hills had room for the students.
SEVERAL PERSONS from the area attended the meeting, Charles Crabtree, 806 Randall Road, said that possibly there were other solutions that were as good.
that the solution to this problem was up to the city.
The board approved the appointment of Gene Haley, chairman; Robert Billings and Warren McIlinn to serve as a real estate committee. All are Lawrence reultors.
Fisher said that many persons in the area were concerned about the safety of children near the river.
The board approved application for $214,630 in federal funds under the Emergency School Aid Act. The program would be used for reading and communication skills, mathematics, career education and self-image programs.
In their May 1973 newsletter, Penn House, a community self-help organization for the poor, said that this program would be of tremendous value in making efforts Penn House has wanted to make in the district, Superintendent Carl Knox said.
The loudspeaker system opposite Bailie Hall on Jayhawk Boulevard will be removed this summer, according to Bailie Bourf, vice chancellor for student affairs.
Balfour said plans to remove the system were made because of numerous complaints from instructors at Bayle Hall who speaker was interrupted classes frequently.
Loudspeaker To Be Removed
Originally, said Bafour, the Loudspeaker was only to be used between classes, but in the last few years the number of hour and a half classes has increased to the point that there is no completely between-class period.
Budget Vote Today; Validity Questionable
A light voter turnout is expected in today's student referendum on the Student Senate's proposed allocations to campus organizations and school councils.
In the referendum, the students will have an opportunity to indicate their approval or disapproval of the manner in which the senate allocated funds to the various organizations and school councils for the next fiscal year.
Student Body President Mert Buckley, Wichita junior, has urged all students to vote, but he said he does not think many students will vote.
The validity of the referendum has been questioned by the University administration. Charles Oldfather, professor of law and university attorney, said the Senate Code did not provide for any type of punishment before a bidding moon at the senate or the University.
Poll, which will be open until 5 p.m. today, are located in the lobby of Strong Hall, the main lobby of the Kansas Union, and on the second floor of Summerfield
The possibility of any further action on the budget by the Student Senate is also doubtful. The budget has been submitted to the Senate and passed by him. Any changes or additions to the
budget would also require the approval of the Chancellor. It is doubtful that any such action could be completed in time to submit the revised budget to the Kansas Board of Regents for consideration before the start of the new fiscal year, July 1.
Approval of the budget by the Regents must be completed before the start of the project.
The budget referendum is the result of a petition submitted to the Student Senate Wednesday by the Coalition of Concerned Student Organization. The coalition consists of 12 student organizations that are dissatisfied with the senate's allocations.
