School Hoard! Av Mew Poy Hike Non-Certificated Personnel Given Increase of $30 REDLANDS Another full-blown salary storm brewed Thursday until school trustees threw oil on the troubled waters. They granted a conditional 530 a month raise to non-certificated personnel and a revised salary scale to administrative and supervisory personnel. The spark that set off a flurry of mumbling from the half-dozen teachers in the board room and some hurried telephone calls arose from an interpretation of the March 12 "court-room" board meeting before some 500 persons in Clock Auditorium. OPINIONS DIFFER At that time, Trustee Constance Silverwood drafted a resolution: "It is our intent to adopt the salary schedule recommended by the superintendent, provided that if there be any reduction in revenues other than direct taxation, that reduction shall be used to reduce proportionately the salary sc hedule." That did not mean the admini-istrators' new scale or the proposed $30 a month for non-certificated persons, said Mrs. Silver-wood.

Only, teachers. Schools Supt. Ross B. Speer was of another opinion. He said he has been assuring persons that the salary raise was a "package deal." lie said that his budget figures for next year included salary advancements for all.

'VERIFICATION' SOUGHT Thursday's minutes asked for a "verification of the minutes" that day including those other than teachers for rav raises. Instead nf the $30 raise, the minutes listed aiIacmtles or lne rour P001 nalIS per cent increase Redlands was introduced by Chief Speer and Schools Police w- E- Slaughter Tuesday Manager E. M.

The amount will be for $390,000. The amount of the bond was tipped $10,000 to allow an adequate amount to cover inclusion of an all-purpose room on the new site. cent raise, which would amount toj about the same as a $30 raise, but i that R. E. (Mack) Reynolds, speak-j ing for school employes, asked for the $30 and the per cent was not Drougnt out.

Paterson said that the $30 a month blanket raise is not as equitable and would bring criticism from those higher on the salary scale. When the motion for the $30 arose, Paterson voted "no." A 12 Vi per cent schedule was brought out. It was dated Jan. 20. HADN'T SEEN SCALE Trustees said they had never seen a 12'a per cent scale until shortly before the meeting.

They argued that $30 was what was originally asked and that was what was granted. Concerning the March 12 resolution, which mentioned only "the salary presumably the; teachers' Mrs. Silverwood and President Raymond A. Beeler said that a pay raise only for teachers was their intent. Beeler said that as parliamen- tarian he felt it his perogative to Van Mouwerick and Mrs.

Silverwood said was true, but that tribute to the three Smiley brothers the public has assumed it was a "package" raise. He cautioned trustees against another misunderstanding with the community. Mrs. Silverwood agreed. TRUSTEES BALK Trustees balked at the idea of another "court-room" session.

Thei motion for $30 for non-certificated personnel and the administrator's raise followed. Trustee George Beattie was not present. Although Dr. Lloyd Nelson, school finance expert, March 5 predicted that amount of proposition 2 moneys would be known April 1, the bill distributing the funds is still being rewritten in the State Legislature. Trustees said it may be June before- Redlands' Share is known.

Because of that, Supt. Speer introduced a "contract authorization," slip with which to confirm appointments of new teachers. He said he had already "in desperation" used the slip to confirm appointment of 10 teachers. He said an understanding is needed before May 15. of Merchants in Stud of Parking Lot REDLANDS Members of the retail division of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce at their Mondav meeting will again discuss a location for a Northside parking lot.
