		After noting that the dependents school system is comprised of "seven additional bargaining units with 626 members whose salaries total $11.3 million," the Authority nevertheless concluded that the agency "has failed to establish that increased costs could be expected or even that increased costs would be unavoidable." Id. at 37a.
		And if, for example, the schools decided that in order to offset a salary increase they had to hire fewer teachers, thereby adversely affecting the pupil-teacher ratio, parents justifiably would complain that the Army was not complying with Section 241(a)'s mandate to provide an education comparable to that provided at local public schools.
		If the Section 6 schools paid more and had appreciably more desirable leave and benefit policies than neighboring local school systems, those systems would probably be forced to match salary and benefits or suffer a loss in the quality of their personnel.
