Electors at the Burlington Area School District annual meeting voted to establish an annual salary for school board members of $3,000 for the 2025–26 school year.

Noah Strom read the compensation resolution to the electors: "Be it hereby resolved by the electors of Burlington Area School District that the salary of BASD school board members be set at $3,000 for the 25–26 school year." The clerk collected ballots; the clerk later announced the tally as eight yes votes and one no.

Following the annual‑meeting ballots, the board considered the related board policy (policy 0144.1 / 0144.01 as referenced in the meeting text). Jill noted the policy’s first sentence previously read that board members "shall serve without pay" and recommended changing it to read, "as approved by the electors at the annual meeting, board members shall serve with pay." The board voted to suspend the normal two‑reading rule under policy 0131.1 and then voted to adopt the amended policy at the special board meeting that followed the annual meeting.

During the roll call to suspend the rules and permit immediate first and second reading, the board recorded unanimous affirmative votes from members present (one member was absent). The subsequent roll‑call vote to approve the amended policy also carried with all present voting yes. The board directed staff to update official policy language to reflect the electors’ decision.

The salary change applies to the 2025–26 school year as set by the electors; implementation details and payroll handling were assigned to the board office and will be reflected in board records.
