§ 2209. Salary of district superintendent. 1. Each district
superintendent shall receive an annual salary from the state of
forty-three thousand four hundred ninety-nine dollars, payable by the
commissioner of education from moneys appropriated therefor, and in no
event shall any moneys in excess of such amount be paid for such
salaries unless this section is amended or explicitly notwithstood.

2. The supervisors of the towns composing any supervisory district
may by adopting a resolution by a majority vote increase the salary to
be paid by such district to its district superintendent. Such
supervisors must thereupon file with the clerk of the board of
supervisors a certificate showing the amount of such increase. The
board of supervisors of each county shall levy such amount annually by
tax on the towns composing such supervisory district within the county.
