1999 SESSION
HB 2633 School board salaries in Arlington County.
Introduced by: L. Karen Darner | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
School board salaries. Provides a limited exception to the requirement that county local school boards whose membership is elected or appointed for staggered terms may only establish a salary increase prior to July 1 of any year in which at least one-half of such members are to be elected or appointed for Arlington County. To address cases in which half of the members of a staggered board are never elected or appointed in one year, this measure allows a five-member school board serving a county having the county manager plan of government (Arlington) to establish a salary increase prior to July 1 in any year in which two of the five members are to be elected or appointed.
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.
Amendments adopted in 1998 (HB 1047) clarified the procedures by which school boards may elect to increase their salaries. In contrast to county school boards, a local school board representing a city or town may establish a salary increase prior to January 1 in any year in which members are to be elected or appointed; the increase would become effective on July 1 of the following year. No salary increase may become effective during an incumbent member's term of office; however, this restriction does not apply if the school board members are elected or appointed for staggered terms.
