HB 637 School board salaries.
Introduced by: James H. Dillard II | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
School board salaries. Provides that any elected school board may pay each of its members an annual salary that is consistent with the salary procedures and no more than the salary limits provided for local governments in Article 1.1 (§ 15.2-1414.1 et seq.) of Chapter 14 of Title 15.2 or as provided by charter. The specific salary limits that are currently provided for most school boards in Virginia are eliminated for elected school boards; however, for appointed school boards the specific salary limits are retained. Title 15.2 sets specific salary caps for city councils and boards of supervisors by population brackets; town councils may set their own salary levels. This bill also provides that the annual amount a school board, whether elected or appointed, may pay its chairman will be increased from $1,100 to $2,000 and retains the restriction that no school board can be awarded a salary increase, unless a specific salary increase is approved by affirmative vote of that school board. The salary of the Northumberland County School Board is addressed in the second enactment because a referendum for an elected school board was just approved by the voters in November 2000; however, no election has taken place. The Northumberland school board is required to adhere to its current cap of $2,400 until such time as its members are elected and duly sworn into office as authorized by the referendum held in 2000.
