Bill > AB1390

This bill modifies existing California law regarding compensation for members of county boards of education and school district governing boards by increasing the monthly compensation limits based on the average daily attendance (ADA) of students in their jurisdiction. Currently, board members can receive between $60 and $1,500 per month, but this bill would raise those limits to range from $600 to $4,500 per month. The compensation is tiered, with higher-attendance districts allowing for higher monthly compensation. Board members are typically only paid the full amount if they attend all meetings, and pro-rated amounts are available if they miss meetings. The bill maintains existing provisions that allow for partial payment if a member is absent due to specific reasons like performing district services, illness, jury duty, or hardship. Additionally, the bill preserves the option for boards to increase individual member compensation by up to 5% annually and allows pupil board members to receive either course credit or financial compensation as determined by the board. The changes aim to provide more competitive compensation for local education board service across different-sized school districts in California.
