Bulloch School Board to Consider Member Pay Raise

The development

The Bulloch County Board of Education is considering a proposal to increase pay for members of the board. The issue concerns compensation for elected or appointed school board members, not teacher salaries or other school-system employees.

The Georgia Virtue reported on the board’s planned consideration of the pay issue. Read its report here.

What consideration means

A board discussion or review is not the same as a final decision. The pay raise remains an item for the Bulloch County Board of Education to consider, and the development does not by itself show that a new compensation amount has been adopted.

What comes next

The board’s process will determine whether members take formal action on the proposal. Any final decision would establish whether compensation changes, and the amount or effective date would depend on the board’s action.

The issue is a local-government matter involving the school board’s own compensation. No candidates or election contest are directly connected to the proposal.
