each position of school principal in the school administered by the 
person holding such position. Such evaluation shall be based on 
(A) such workload factors as (i) the academic program, (ii) the 
number of teachers, nonteaching personnel, and other professional 
and nonprofessional personnel supervised, (iii) school enroll-
ment, (iv) cocurricular activities, (v) extracurricular activities,

his compensation fixed m accordance with the rate of compensation 
prescribed for that service step, corresponding to his creditable 
years of service, of principal level I in that group within salary
