North Carolina § 115C-273 - Salary schedule for superintendents.

§ 115C-273. Salary schedule for superintendents.

Every local board of education may adopt, as to assistant or associate superintendents not paid out of State funds, a salary schedule similar to the State salary schedule, but it likewise shall recognize a difference in salaries based on different duties, training, experience, professional fitness, and continued service in the same school system; but if any local board of education shall fail to adopt such a schedule, the State salary schedule shall be in force. History (1955, c. 1372, art. 5, s. 32; 1965, c. 584, s. 3; 1981, c. 423, s. 1.) Editor's Note. - Session Laws 2002-126, s. 28.3A, as amended by Session Laws 2002-159, s. 82, provides: "Any person who is a full-time permanent employee on September 30, 2002, of (i) a local board of education, or (ii) the State, who is eligible for annual leave shall have a one-time additional 10 days of annual leave credited on that date. Local board of education employees paid on salary schedules in Section 7.1 or 7.2 of this act are not eligible to receive this additional annual leave unless they are at the top of their respective salary schedules and do not receive a salary increment for the 2002-2003 fiscal year. Employees paid under Section 7.45 of this act shall not be eligible for this additional annual leave unless they are at the top of their respective salary schedules and do not receive a salary increment for the 2002-2003 fiscal year. That leave shall be accounted for separately, and shall remain available until used, notwithstanding any other limitation on the total number of days of annual leave that maybe carried forward. Part-time permanent employees and 9- or 10-month employees shall receive a pro rata amount of the 10 days. "The General Assembly encourages the State Board of Community Colleges to adopt rules authorizing the colleges to provide special annual leave bonuses, compensation bonuses, or other employee benefits to their employees. Included within this may be salary increases within available funds to employees not receiving special annual leave bonuses." Session Laws 2002-126, s. 1.2, provides: "This act shall be known as 'The Current Operations, Capital Improvements, and Finance Act of 2002'." Session Laws 2002-126, s. 31.3, provides: "Except for statutory changes or other provisions that clearly indicate an intention to have effects beyond the 2002-2003 fiscal year, the textual provisions of this act apply only to funds appropriated for, and activities occurring during, the 2002-2003 fiscal year. For example, uncodified provisions of this act relating to the Medicaid program apply only to the 2002-2003 fiscal year." Session Laws 2002-126, s. 31.6, is a severability clause. Session Laws 2009-26, s. 8, provides: "Notwithstanding G.S. 115C-302.1(h) , 115C-316(b), 115C-285(b), 115C-273, or any other provision of law, employees of local boards of education who are not paid out of State funds shall receive the same reduction in pay applicable to State-paid employees in the event of a reduction in compensation of State-paid employees that is enacted by the General Assembly or ordered by the Governor pursuant to the Governor's constitutional duty to balance the State budget."
