(b) The portion of the salary of each teacher whose duties require that a part, but not all, of the full time for which the teacher is employed be devoted to the teaching of pupils of the district, which is equal to the portion of such full time actually devoted by the teacher to teaching pupils of the district.
(c) The salary paid to each instructional aide employed by the district, any portion of whose duties are required to be performed under the supervision of a classroom teacher.
