49-5-5010. Loss of supplements Reasons.

Once a person qualifies for and receives a salary supplement as a career level I, career level II or career level III teacher or a career level I, career level II or career level III assistant principal, principal or supervisor, the person shall not be denied the supplement unless the person:

     (1)  Is dismissed for cause;

     (2)  Fails to maintain or renew any certificate provided for in this part and parts 52-55 of this chapter; or

     (3)  Elects not to or refuses to perform the extra duties required in this part and parts 52-55 of this chapter. Any career level educator who has a change in positions but who remains within the career ladder certification system shall retain the state salary supplement for the remaining year or years of validity of the career level certificate, as provided in §§ 49-5-5212, 49-5-5308 and 49-5-5508. However, an educator who holds more than one career level certificate may receive only one (1) state salary supplement, the highest of those for which the person is otherwise eligible.
