SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

School board salaries; Southampton County. Corrects the school board salary statute by reinserting the Southampton County school board salary cap, which was inadvertently eliminated from statute by HB 1141 in 2002. In addition, the salary cap is increased from $2,400 to $5,000.

Pursuant to HB 1141, only appointed school boards must seek General Assembly action for an increase in their respective salary caps. The 2002 Session adopted legislation providing 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 were eliminated for elected school boards; however, for appointed school boards the specific salary limits were to be 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.
