Bill would give pay raises to Montgomery County School Board

Members of the Montgomery County School Board would receive pay raises under legislation proposed by several state lawmakers.

A bill proposed by county Dels. Charles E. Barkley and Brian J. Feldman would raise annual salaries for board members by $6,500, making them some of the highest paid in the region. The board president’s pay would increase from $22,500 to $29,000, and members’ pay would increase from $18,500 to $25,000. The last time salaries were increased was in 2002.
