"To our Hertz stated, "the Teachers' Association has never released a statement of the procedures which it used in arriving at the $48 million figure." He said the School Boards Association basically is not opposed to a teachers' salary bill, but the boards are determined the General Assembly be fully cognizant of the bill's true proportions and stand ready to provide sufficient state funds to carry a proper share of the cost.
