part or (ii) the governing body of the appropriate county, city, or town whose
school board is comprised solely of appointed members.
E. C. 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

F. D. 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 unless such
school board has taken an affirmative vote on the requested increase. Further,
no elected school board shall be
awarded a salary increase, unless, upon an affirmative vote by such school
board, a specific salary increase 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 40 percent
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 if the election or appointment occurs prior to July 1 and shall be become effective January 1 of the following year if the election or appointment occurs after June 30.
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.
