employed by the school shall be compensated in accordance with the provisions of
the salary schedule, salary policy, or combination salary schedule and salary policy

within which the main campus of the school is located and with the salary policies

the school shall use the salary schedule most recently adopted before that date.

(c) Funding for the compensation of teachers employed by the school shall
be included in the line item appropriation to the school in the general appropriation

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, any
teacher who, when compensated in accordance with the provisions of the salary

receive less compensation than he or she received from the Colorado school for the
deaf and the blind in the budget year 1995-96 shall continue receiving the amount
he or she received in the budget year 1995-96 until compensation of that teacher in
accordance with the provisions of the salary schedule, salary policy, or combination
salary schedule and salary policy would result in an increase in compensation over
the amount received in the budget year 1995-96.
