Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

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
subsection (b), 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:

100,000 to 999,999 $81,500 $74,000
1,000,000 and over $83,500 $76,000
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 each of
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:
SALARIES OF ASSISTANT REGIONAL SUPERINTENDENTS
QUALIFICATIONS OF PERCENTAGE OF SALARY
ASSISTANT REGIONAL OF REGIONAL
SUPERINTENDENT SUPERINTENDENT
No Bachelor's degree, but
State certificate valid 70%
for teaching and
supervising.
Bachelor's degree plus
State certificate valid 75%
for supervising.
Master's degree plus
State certificate valid 90%
for supervising.
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 for regional
superintendents and assistant regional superintendents are
payable monthly from the Common School Fund. The State
Comptroller in making his or her warrant to any county for
the amount due it from the Common School 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 of
the Common School 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) Upon abolition on July 1, 1994, 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 provisions of subsection
(a) of this Section shall no longer apply in any educational
service region in which the office of regional superintendent
of schools is so abolished, and no salary or other
compensation shall be payable under that subsection (a) or
under any other provision of this Section with respect to the
office so abolished or with respect to any assistant position
to the office so abolished.
(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 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.
