| Public Act 100-0294 | |||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| |||||||||||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | |||||||||||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section | |||||||||||||
3-2.5 as follows:
| |||||||||||||
(105 ILCS 5/3-2.5)
| |||||||||||||
Sec. 3-2.5. Salaries.
| |||||||||||||
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the
| |||||||||||||
regional superintendents of schools shall receive for their | |||||||||||||
services an annual
salary according to the population, as | |||||||||||||
determined by the last preceding federal
census, of the region | |||||||||||||
they serve, as set out in the following schedule:
| |||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||
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). Upon abolition of the office of regional
| ||
superintendent of schools in educational service regions | ||
containing
2,000,000 or more inhabitants as provided in Section | ||
3-0.01
of this Code, the funds provided under subsection (a) of | ||
this Section shall continue to be appropriated and reallocated, | ||
as provided for pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 3-0.01 of | ||
this Code, to the educational service centers established | ||
pursuant to Section 2-3.62 of this Code for an educational | ||
service region containing 2,000,000 or more inhabitants.
| ||
(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. | ||
