Thank goodness the Senate Finance Committee amended the Mini-Budget to give more funds for Germanna to keep the positions we worked for last year. All the House did was to add a 2 percent increase to the present salaries of teachers at Germanna. The House Appropriations Committee approved a resolution, which everyone supported, requesting local governments to assure that part of the increase in funds for secondary education be used to bring teachers salaries up as close as possible to neighboring States. There was an effort in the Senate to send an extra $10 million for urban schools but this time it failed, (one for the rural boys.)
Somehow, and 1 haven’t figured out this one. a bill has passed the House and Senate requiring parolees on work release programs to pay the State $15.00 per month while they are in this category.
