SUMMARY AS PASSED:

School board salaries. Increases the maximum annual salary for school board members in the following jurisdictions: Lancaster, from $3,000 to $6,000; Louisa, from $3,600 to $4,800; Russell, from $1,800 to $3,600; the City of Portsmouth, from $2,700 to $5,000; and the City of Salem, from $1,700 to $3,600.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

School board salaries. Increases the maximum annual salary for school board members in the following jurisdictions: Lancaster, from $3,000 to $6,000; Louisa, from $3,600 to $4,800; Russell, from $1,800 to $3,600; the City of Portsmouth, from $2,700 to $5,000; and the City of Salem, from $1,700 to $3,600.

Under current law, no school board can request the General Assembly's consideration of an increase in its annual salary limit unless the school board has taken an affirmative vote on the requested increase. Further, no school board whose membership is elected in whole or in part can be awarded a salary increase, unless a specific salary increase is approved by affirmative vote by that school board. No salary increase may become effective during an incumbent member's term of office; however, this restriction will not apply if the school board members are elected or appointed for staggered terms.
