Description

Under existing law, members of local boards of education are authorized to receive up to six hundred dollars ($600) compensation per month.

Also under existing law, the State Superintendent of Education is required to develop continuing education and training programs for members of local boards of education.

This bill would increase the compensation that members of local boards of education are eligible to receive to nine hundred dollars ($900) per month.

This bill would also require the compensation of a member of a local board of education be placed in escrow if certain continuing education and training requirements are not met, and would revert the funds back to the local board of education if funds remain in escrow when the member leaves his or her office.
