Gaughan SECOND MONTH ON HALF PAY Hobbie School Board Waits State Aid to Settle Up With its Teachers. The Hobbie school board, embarrassed last month by failure of the state aid check to come and by forced to pay the teachers and the bus drivers only half of the salaries due them for February, has been put to the necessity of doing the same thing again this week. When the board 1 met, the news was announced that the state aid check for the 1934-35 term has not yet been received so that the funds on hand permitted only checks for 50 per cent of the amounts due for March. The board, which hopes to be able to settle in full when the state mails the overdue check, served notice on all the teachers that their contracts terminate with the present year, thereby preventing automatic renewal under the terms of the tenure of act. The action does not necessarily mean the teachers won't be re-elected but it gives the board a free hand.
