Beginning July 1, 2023, all regional superintendents of schools shall receive the same salary regardless of the population of the region they serve. The salary shall be equal to the middle annual salary tier.
The changes made by Public Act 86-98 in the annual salary that the
regional superintendents of schools shall receive for their services shall
apply to the annual salary received by the regional superintendents of
schools during each of their elected terms of office that
commence after
July 26, 1989 and before the first Monday of August, 1995.
The changes made by Public Act 89-225 in the annual salary that
regional superintendents of schools shall receive for their services shall
apply to the annual salary received by the regional superintendents of schools
during their elected terms of office that
commence after August 4,
1995 and end on August 1, 1999.
The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in the
annual salary that the regional superintendents of schools shall receive for
their services shall apply to the annual salary received by the regional
superintendents of schools during each of their elected terms of office that
commence on or after August 2, 1999.
Beginning July 1, 2000, the salary that the regional superintendent
of schools receives for his or her services shall be adjusted annually to
reflect the percentage increase, if any, in the most recent Consumer Price
Index, as defined and officially reported by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, except that no annual increment may exceed
2.9%. If the percentage of change in the
Consumer Price Index is a percentage decrease, the salary that the regional
superintendent of schools receives shall not be adjusted for that year.
When regional superintendents are authorized by the School Code to
appoint assistant regional superintendents, the assistant regional
superintendent shall receive an annual salary based on his or her
qualifications and computed as a percentage of the salary of the
regional superintendent to whom he or she is assistant, as set out in the
following schedule:
|
However, in any region in which the appointment of more than one
assistant regional superintendent is authorized, whether by Section
3-15.10 of this Code or otherwise, not more than one assistant may
be compensated at the 90% rate and any other assistant shall be paid at
not exceeding the 75% rate, in each case depending on the qualifications
of the assistant.
The salaries provided in this Section plus an amount for other employment-related compensation or benefits for regional superintendents
and assistant regional superintendents are payable monthly by the State Board of Education out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund through a specific appropriation to that effect in the State Board of Education budget. The State Comptroller in making his or her warrant to
any county for the amount due it from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund shall deduct
from it the several amounts for which warrants have been issued to the
regional superintendent, and any assistant regional superintendent, of
the educational service region encompassing the county since the
preceding apportionment from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund.
County boards may provide for additional compensation for the
regional superintendent or the assistant regional superintendents, or
for each of them, to be paid quarterly from the county treasury.
(b) (Blank).
(c) If the State pays all or any portion of the employee contributions
required under Section 16-152 of the Illinois Pension Code for employees of the
State Board of Education, it shall also, subject to appropriation in the State Board of Education budget for such payments to Regional Superintendents and Assistant Regional Superintendents, pay the employee contributions required
of regional superintendents of schools and assistant regional superintendents
of schools on the same basis, but excluding any contributions based on
compensation that is paid by the county rather than the State.
This subsection (c) applies to contributions based on payments of salary
earned after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
Assembly, except that in the case of an elected regional superintendent of
schools, this subsection does not apply to contributions based on payments of
salary earned during a term of office that commenced before the effective date
of this amendatory Act.
(d) References to "regional superintendent" in this Section shall also include the chief administrative officer of the educational service centers established under Section 2-3.62 of this Code and serving that portion of a Class II county school unit outside of a city with a population of 500,000 or more inhabitants. References to "assistant regional superintendent" in this Section shall include one assistant appointed by the chief administrative officer of the educational service centers established under Section 2-3.62 of this Code and serving that portion of a Class II county school unit outside of a city with a population of 500,000 or more inhabitants. For the purposes of calculating regional superintendent and assistant regional superintendent salaries for educational service centers established under Section 2-3.62 of this Code, populations shall be established by subtracting from the total county population the population of a city with 500,000 or more inhabitants, divided by the number of educational service centers in the county.
