A Madison School Board vote Monday will nearly double its members’ pay, but members rejected a companion amendment that would have made them eligible for MMSD’s health insurance coverage, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
The board president — who currently makes $8,300 per year — will make another $1,200 annually, and the board vice president and Instruction and Operations workgroup chairs an additional $600.
Board members’ yearly stipend will increase from $8,000 to $15,000.
The board’s last pay increase was in 2015 when it was raised from $4,200.
