Pay raises for school board members

When should school board members get pay raises? Board members in Flagler County, Fla. are considering whether they deserve a 12 percent increase in pay next year. Currently, the five board members make $25,032 each year, but the Florida School Boards Association suggests the elected officials should be paid $27,964—an increase of $2,932 in each member's paycheck, reports the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Board members in nearby Polk County, Fla., are also considering the issue.

A 2002 survey of 720 school districts by NSBA reveals that board members in two-thirds of those districts are not paid.
