Kenyon-Wanamingo board removes per‑meeting stipends, keeps $1,000 annual pay
Summary
Board members voted to eliminate the $50 per‑meeting stipend while retaining the $1,000 annual base compensation; leaders noted meeting stipends totaled roughly $7,900 last year and removing them will yield savings for the district budget.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School District board discussed board-member pay and approved removing the $50 per-meeting stipend while keeping the $1,000 annual base compensation for board members.
During the discussion a board member noted, "Also, everyone knows that was $7,900 last year," calling out the aggregate cost of meeting stipends.
