The new figures made avail able by NEA show Georgia in 40th place instead of 44th as it was ranked in 1972. The NEA statistics are used con sistently by the Association for comparisons. “ We are pleased, of cour se, that Georgia has attained a higher ranking even though our state is still number 40 in the list of 50 states. If Georgia teachers were to rise even to the mid-point on the list, teachers, here would have to receive an average above Ohio’s $9,300 a year,” Dr. Hodges said. The 1973 NEA figures show Georgia teachers receive an average of $8,204 yearly. Ala bama, South Carolina, and Mi ssissippi rank below Georgia while Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee rank above. Vir ginia, where teachers receive an average $9,595 a year ranks 22nd on the NEA list. Average salary statisticsfor Georgia teachers have been questioned by Gov. Jimmy Car ter who has asserted that G AE’s figures are incorrect as cited in support of the GAE legislative proposal for a 5.5 percent teacher pay raise this year. Official publications of the Association state clearly, how ever, that the 44th place rank ing in average teacher’s sal aries used up to now is bas. ed on the annual NEA Resear ch Division’s official “ Rank ings of the States ” for 1972. The two highest are Alaska with $14,491 and New York with $12,380. The two lowest is Arkansas with $7,363 and Mississippi with $6,924.
