board an additional salary not exceeding $1,100 2,000 per year upon passage of

(ii) the governing body of the appropriate county, city, or town whose school board is comprised
solely of appointed members.
DC. Any school board may in its discretion pay each of its members mileage for
use of a private vehicle in attending meetings of the school board and in
conducting other official business of the school board. Its members may be
reimbursed for private transportation at a rate not to exceed that which is
authorized for persons traveling on state business in accordance with §
2.1-20.10. Whatever rate is paid, however, shall be the same for school board
members and employees of the board.
E. Contingent upon finalization of the planned consolidation of the school
divisions of Alleghany County and the City of Clifton Forge, the members of the
newly consolidated school board representing the City of Clifton Forge shall be
paid an amount equal to that paid the members of the present school board of
Alleghany County.
F. No school board shall request the General Assembly's consideration of an
increase in its annual salary limit as established in this section unless such
school board has taken an affirmative vote on the requested increase. Further, no
school board whose membership is elected in whole or in part shall be awarded a
salary increase, unless, upon an affirmative vote by such school board, a
specific salary increase, within the limit set herein, shall be approved. Local
school boards shall adopt such increases according to the following procedures:
1. A local school board representing a county may establish a salary increase
prior to July 1 of any year in which members are to be elected or appointed, or, if
such school board is elected or appointed for staggered terms, prior to July 1 of
any year in which at least one-half of such members are to be elected or
appointed. However, a school board serving a county having the county manager
plan of government and whose membership totals five may establish a salary
increase prior to July 1 in any year in which two of the five members are to be
elected or appointed. Such increase shall become effective on January 1 of the
following year.
2. A local school board representing a city or town may establish a salary
increase prior to December 31 in any year preceding a year in which members are
to be elected or appointed. Such increase shall become effective on July 1 of
the year in which the election or appointment occurs.
No salary increase may become effective during an incumbent member's term of
office; however, this restriction shall not apply if the school board members are
elected or appointed for staggered terms.
