In 1974, The Forum reported on teacher pay raises in North Dakota following negotiations with school boards. Teachers were set to receive healthy, but not stunning, pay raises ranging from 5 to 10 percent. The base salary for teachers in many districts was nearing or exceeding $7,000. Some of the largest increases were seen in Dickinson and Wahpeton, where teachers were getting raises of over 7 percent and close to 10 percent, respectively. Negotiations in other districts like Grand Forks, Jamestown, and Williston were ongoing, with some teachers nearing impasse over salary disputes. Despite challenges in some areas, agreements had been reached in smaller districts such as Carrington, New England, Crosby, and Oakes, with average raises ranging from 8 to 10 percent. Negotiators aimed to finalize discussions by April 15, in line with state law deadlines for teacher contracts.
