HB 1689 School board salaries in various localities
Introduced by: Thomas G. Baker, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
School board salaries. Increases the maximum salaries per year for school board members as follows: for Amelia County, from $1,200 to $5,000; for Arlington County, from $8,000 to $12,000; for Bedford County, from $2,400 to $4,000; for Charlotte County, from $2,400 to $4,800; for Cumberland County, from $1,800 to $3,600; for Middlesex County, from $1,200 to $2,400; for New Kent County, from $1,200 to $3,000; for Prince George County, from $1,800 to $3,600; Pulaski County, from $1,800 to $3,600; for Warren County, from $1,500 to $3,600; and for the City of Petersburg, from $2,400 to $5,000. 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.
Additional amendments clarify that 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. Present law provides that, if a county school board is elected or appointed for staggered terms, a salary increase may be established prior to July 1 of any year in which at least one-half of the members are to be elected or appointed.
This bill also clarifies that a local school board representing a city or town may establish a salary increase prior to December 31 of any year preceding a year in which members are to be elected or appointed; the increase would become effective on July 1 of the year in which the election occurs.
Under present law, 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. An emergency clause makes the measure effective upon its passage in order to authorize salary increases in counties which must be established by July 1.
