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    Bachelor's degree plus State license valid  for supervising.               75%        Master's degree plus State license valid  for supervising.               90%      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).(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.

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.
