(c)	The salary schedules for administrators provide for a two percent (2%) cumulative increase after each step, except between the third and fourth years of experience.  Administrators who complete the three-year probationary period shall receive a 5% increase between years three and four.
(d)	In fiscal years 1989-90, 1990-91, and 1991-92, administrators shall receive a percentage increase equal to the weighted average increase given to teachers under the provisions of this act.  The dollar amount of the increase in each year shall be figured on the individual administrator's base salary, plus longevity if applicable.  At the end of the phase-in, 1991-92, administrators shall be placed on the appropriate salary schedule by grade and step.  Salary grade shall be determined according to the position held.  Within grade, administrators shall be placed in the step equal to or next higher than their 1991-92 salaries.
Sec. 3.  The new salary schedules for teachers and administrators include compensation for longevity service as follows:  one and one-half percent (1.50%) of gross annual salary for the 10-14 year service interval, two and one-fourth percent (2.25%) of gross annual salary for the 15-19 year service interval, three and one-fourth percent (3.25%) of gross annual salary for the 20-24 year service interval, and four and one-half percent (4.50%) of gross annual salary for the 25-30 year service interval.  Effective July 1, 1989, payments for longevity service shall no longer be made as additions to annual salary.
Sec. 4.  Effective July 1, 1989, all noncertified public school employees shall receive a 5% across-the-board increase.  There is further established a one percent (1%) salary reserve to be administered by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to reclassify noncertified employees, to the extent possible, commensurate with the level of the State Employees' Salary Plan for comparable positions.
Sec. 5.  The State Board of Education shall adopt rules and regulations necessary to implement this act.
Sec. 6.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Public Education the sum of one hundred forty-eight million five hundred twenty-nine thousand nine hundred fifty-nine dollars ($148,529,959) for the 1989-90 fiscal year and the sum of three hundred four million five hundred forty-six thousand seven hundred ninety-five dollars ($304,546,795) for the 1990-91 fiscal year to be used for the implementation of this act.
Sec. 7.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
