What are they recognizing this school board for? Raising taxes and giving themselves a big pay raise. I think $10,000 a year to go to a few meetings is a lot of money. It would seem to me a small stipend to pay for expenses would be enough. Other people who serve and spend a lot more time don't get paid. Like PTO presidents, SEC chair people and on an on. In my opinion we need a new school board and we need terms where people can't stay on forever and use their position for favoritism for their own families.
