minimum salary levels for certain school personnel. The specified salary levels
appear obsolete and serve no practical purpose. Staff recommends that the
statutory minimum salary levels be repealed. Section 6-301(i), requiring a tax
levy sufficient to meet the minimum salary levels, should also be repealed.
