Summary

The proposal raises the ceiling on monthly pay that board members can receive for attending all board meetings, with higher limits for districts that serve more full‑time equivalent students. It applies only to members who attend every meeting, and includes a pro‑rated provision for partial attendance. The change aims to make board service more financially viable, especially in larger districts.
