Presentation: No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Under North Carolina General Statute 115C-38 and per the authority set forth in G.S. 153A-92, the Board of County Commissioners may fix the compensation and expense allowance paid to members of the board of education. The last salary increase for CMS Board members occurred in May 2018, as part of the 2018-2019 County budget process. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Board of Education is seeking a stipend increase; however, since the County has already adopted its 2023-2024 budget ordinance, no new money is being requested, only to be allowed to reallocate available funds to increase the Board members’ salaries. Pursuant to G.S. 115C-38, the compensation and expense allowance of members of a board of education shall continue at the same levels as paid on July 1, 1975 unless or until changed by or pursuant to a local act of the Board of County Commissioners.
