This bill, by amending existing law, removes a size restriction on school districts that previously determined eligibility for board of education members to receive a stipend, meaning all school district board members may now be eligible. It also establishes a new range for this stipend, allowing board members to receive between $25.00 and $190.00 for each meeting they attend, with a limit of four meetings per month. The bill also updates some language regarding public meetings and executive sessions, clarifying that votes and actions must be publicly recorded and that notice must be given to students or their guardians regarding executive sessions for expulsion or suspension discussions. This legislation is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
