The clerk of the school board shall have such powers and duties as provided in § 22.1-77 or as otherwise provided by resolution of the school board. The vice-chairman and deputy clerk shall be empowered to act in all matters in case of the absence or inability to act of the chairman or clerk, respectively, or as otherwise provided by resolution of the school board.

With such funds as may be available for such purpose, the school board shall fix the compensation of the clerk, deputy clerk, counsel, and such other staff as it may employ or appoint.
