On July 1, 2002 the Textbook and

that this position should be at a higher level based on the responsibilities of
the position, technical expertise, judgment required and consequence of error. It is therefore recommended that the range
for Textbook and Instructional Materials Coordinator be moved from range 491 to
range 558, effective January 1, 2007.
