AB 1390: Public school governance: board member compensation.

Existing law establishes county boards of education and school districts throughout the state to administer the public elementary and secondary schools within their respective jurisdictions. Existing law requires county boards of education and the governing board of each school district to prescribe and enforce rules not inconsistent with state law for their own government. Existing law authorizes the members of city or county boards of education or the governing boards of school districts to receive compensation not to exceed a specified amount between $60 and $1,500 per month, based on the average daily attendance for the prior school year in the jurisdiction of the governing board, as provided.

This bill would revise and recast provisions related to the compensation of members of city or county boards of education and the governing boards of school districts by increasing the authorized compensation to instead not exceed a specified amount between $600 and $4,500 per month, based on the average daily attendance for the prior school year in the jurisdiction of the governing board for the prior school year, as provided.
