it needs,” American Rivers said in a

DALLAS (AP) - Police filed a false
report to cover up a shooting at City
Councilman Domingo Garcia’s home
earlier this month, according to high-
ranking department officials.
The city and police officials told
The Dallas Morning News Tuesday
that Garcia requested confidentiality,
so they used a fake name and address
to report the late-night shooting at his
home April 10.
That night, a bullet flew through a
window, lodging in a study closet. No
one was hurt.
Teacher pay may increase
DALLAS (AP) - State Education Commissioner Lionel “Skip” Meno
said Texas teachers deserve a 5 percent raise Tuesday, but one educators’
group was concerned that pay scales would still lag behind the national
average.
Meno recommended the raise as part of a package of proposed
education improvement he sent to a select committee in Austin studying
the Texas’ public education system.
The proposal calls for a minimum annual pay for beginning teachers of
$17,850 for a 10-month contract, up from the current $17,000.
The top minimum salary would be $31,020 for a teacher with a
bachelor’s degree and at least 12 years of experience.
Meno also recommended state funding for 20 more staff training days.
Those days would be phased in over, the next four years.
If such funding is unavailable, districts should be allowed to replace 15
instructional days with training days, under Meno’s proposal. Texas
currently has 180 instructional days.
Leaders of the state’s two teachers’ groups praised the proposal, but had
reservations.
“We are glad to see he included a pay raise in his proposal, but our
feeling is Texas needs to move to the national average over the next two
years,” said Richard Kouri of the Texas State Teachers Association. “And
5 percent is not going to get us there.”
