[§302A-629]  Educational officers; demotion,
transfers.  Any educational officer demoted to a position in a lower salary
range shall continue to be paid the educational officer's previous salary for
the first year of the educational officer's demotion, after which time the
educational officer shall be compensated at the appropriate step in the salary
range to which the educational officer has been demoted.  Unless otherwise
provided by the department, any educational officer who is in a school in which
the school rating has declined to a number that would place the educational
officer in a lower classification shall continue to be paid at the educational
officer's same salary range as long as the educational officer remains in the
same position in the same school. [L 1996, c 89, pt of §2]
