was voted the “full support”
of the Georgia Board of Educa
tion on his request that he
seek permission to appear
before the federal price and
wage board in Washington, D.C„
on behalf of Georgia’s public

Nix requested support uom
the board as he planned to go to
the nation’s Capitol after he re
ceived word on Wednesday that
the federal board had denied
the Georgia Department of Ed
ucation application for a 9.1
per cent salary increase for all
of the state’s public schooltea
chers. Funds for the increase
were approved by this year’s
General Assembly.
The price board reduced the
requested 12.5 per cent increase
to 7.5 per cent on each level
and step of the mandated min
imum teacher salary schedule
which was in effect during the
last school year.
Nix told the state board that
he was optimistic about the 12.5
per cent increase being app
roved “if we can get a hearing.”
He noted that the federal board
recently granted higher salary
increases to Georgia’s highway
personnel, and the nation’s
longshoremen.
