board an additional salary not exceeding $1,100 2,000 per year upon passage of
an appropriate resolution by (i) the school board whose membership is elected in whole or in part or
(ii) the governing body of the appropriate county, city, or town whose school board is comprised
solely of appointed members.
D E. 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 § 2.2-2825. 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 appointed school board shall request the General Assembly's consideration
of an increase in its annual salary limit as established in subsections B and C
of this section unless such school board has taken an affirmative vote on the
requested increase. Further, no elected 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.
2. That the school board of the County of Isle of Wight may pay its members an annual salary not to exceed $4,000 until such time as its members are elected and duly sworn into office as authorized by the referendum held in 2001.
