Board approves pupil board member scholarship to comply with new state law
Summary
Trustees authorized an annual student trustee scholarship of $2,000 per year of service (with $3,000 for a two-year current trustee in transition) to implement a state law change effective Jan. 1, 2024.
Staff recommended establishing an annual student trustee scholarship of $2,000 to be awarded after a year of service, and recommended a one-time $1,000 add-on (total $3,000) for the current two-year student trustee to account for the district's unique situation. Superintendent Dr. Nicholas explained the recommendation as aligned with a new state law effective 01/01/2024 governing student trustee compensation or benefit options.
Trustees adopted the governing board resolution authorizing the pupil board member scholarship by roll call; the vote was unanimous. Staff said the scholarship is $2,000 per year of service going forward, and the transition payment for the current two-year trustee would be $3,000.
