Section 44-1-75
Salary schedule for teachers; leaves, benefits and insurance.
The youth services director shall work with the superintendent and the teaching staffs on each of the three campuses to develop a salary schedule for teachers. In placing teachers, granted tenure in section 44-1-74, on the resulting salary schedule, no teacher shall be placed at a salary level lower than that held on October 1, 1983. In addition to developing this salary schedule, the director and superintendent shall work together with teachers to arrange replacement of all leaves and benefits previously enjoyed by the teachers of the department under the state merit system. For purposes of obtaining hospital/medical benefits and life insurance, teaching personnel shall remain under the state employees' hospital/medical and life insurance plans until such time as statewide hospital/medical and life insurance plans are developed for all state teachers.
