AUSTIN, Tex. (API - It’s
going to take a whale of a com-

power for the 65th Legislature
to create a news systerti for fi-

-School teachers, who want
a 25 per cent raise this Septem-
ber and complain that their av-
erage salary is $fl5t below the
nationalaverJge.
—Tax-poor districts, who still

them to give their children an
education equal in quality to •
that provided by property-rich
districts.
This will be the third straight
session in which legislators
have dealt with the problem,
having produced only stopgap
solutions in the 1973 and 1975.
It all* started when a federal
court ruled in.December 1972 ♦

or vdiOal changes will be

not within the power of the
courts to redress it. . *. • "
Since then, Texas has revised^

School Program upon the mar”

within each district.
But inequities continue. Tax-
payers .complain. Teachers
gripe about a minimum salary

year and guarantees, no more

made.
