49-5-5207. Term of employment, duties, and supplement of career level II teachers.

(a)  Any duly certified career level II teacher paid as such shall be employed for not less than ten (10) nor more than eleven (11) months, and shall perform additional duties prescribed by the LEA from a list of activities approved by the commissioner of education. A career level II teacher shall perform those duties prescribed by the LEA and such other additional duties as may be provided for in § 49-5-5209. Upon receiving a career level II teacher certificate, a teacher shall choose either a ten- or eleven-month contract. If the teacher chooses an eleven-month contract, that teacher may receive either the full amount of the eleven-month supplement, if that teacher's services are required during the eleventh month, or that part of the supplement paid for outstanding performance, if the services of that teacher are not required during the eleventh month. The amount received by the teacher shall be determined by the needs of the LEA for teachers during the eleventh month.

(b)  (1)  Career level II teachers who are employed as such by an LEA under a ten-month contract shall receive a two thousand dollar ($2,000) salary supplement in addition to any other compensation to which the teacher may be entitled.

     (2)  Duly certified career level II teachers who are employed as such by an LEA under an eleven-month contract shall receive a four thousand dollar ($4,000) salary supplement in addition to any other compensation to which the teacher may be entitled. If the teacher is not required to work during the eleventh month, the teacher shall receive only that part of the four thousand dollar ($4,000) supplement representing compensation for outstanding performance.
