Approved March 31, 1956

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 22-37, as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended and
reenacted as follows: .

§ 22-37. The division superintendent shall receive as a minimum
salary three thousand five hundred dollars per year, provided he is em-
ployed for his full time in a school division with a school population of
not less than three thousand. In each division with a school population of
more than two thousand but less than three thousand, the minimum salary
shall be two thousand five hundred dollars per year; and in each division
having therein less than two thousand, a minimum basic salary of *
twenty-one hundred dollars. In school divisions with a school population
of over three thousand the division superintendent shall receive, in addi-
tion to the minimum of three thousand five hundred dollars, ten dollars per
hundred for each hundred school population above three thousand, allow-
ing in each computation* fifty pupils or more to count as the next higher
even hundred.

Of the above amounts, the State shall contribute sixty per cent., the
governing bodies of the counties and cities shall contribute forty per cent.,
and in addition to such basic minimum annual salary the school board of
each county or city shall contribute not less than six hundred dollars out
of the school funds in their respective treasuries derived from local taxa-
tion or local appropriations.

Approval of the State Board must be secured for the employment of
a part-time superintendent and the State Board must approve the condi-
tions under which the part-time superintendent may be employed and the
amount of salary to be fixed for services rendered as division superintend-
ent. * Such salary shall be paid by the State and the county or city respec-
tively in the same proportion as above set out.

The amounts to be contributed by the State as above provided shall
be paid by the State Treasurer in monthly installments out of the avail-
able funds on the warrants of the Comptroller upon the approved voucher
or vouchers required by the Comptroller.

The local school board may, out of the local fund, supplement the
salary above prescribed, * and the local school board shall provide for the
necessary traveling and office expenses of the superintendent. * Detail
pecans of all such expenses shall be kept in the office of the superin-
tendent.
