Board updates bylaw on trustee remuneration, lowers reimbursable leave from 20 to 10 days

Summary
Trustees adopted revisions to bylaw 9250 to reflect AB 1390 changes; the board removed a paragraph about incremental increases and reduced the annual reimbursable days for trustees from 20 to 10.
The Rocklin Unified School District board on March 18 adopted revisions to board bylaw 9250 governing trustee remuneration, reimbursement and related benefits to align with recent state law changes.
Superintendent Stock explained AB 1390 updated the statutory framework for monthly compensation for district and county board members, the first such change since 1984. Trustees discussed whether to retain a paragraph in the bylaw that referenced the Education Code’s 5% incremental increase language and debated the appropriate cap on reimbursable administrative costs tied to trustee leave for district service.
After discussion, trustees moved to remove the bylaw paragraph referencing 5% incremental increases and to change a provision allowing reimbursement of administrative costs for up to 20 days annually to a 10‑day annual limit. The motion to adopt the bylaw with those edits passed by roll call vote.
Trustees said they support clear policy language that follows Education Code requirements while balancing opportunities for trustee professional development and advocacy activities, which can include a handful of legislative or conference days annually.
