[quote=Anonymous]As a reminder, this is how the BOE studied its own time and performance: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2024/07/19/study-finds-county-school-board-works-full-time/

[QUOTE][b]Despite holding a part-time position, many Montgomery County school board members worked an average of at least 40 hours a week last year, according to a study presented at Thursday afternoon’s board meeting.[/b]

The results of the study conducted by county school board staff members come amid a revived conversation among county officials about making board positions full time with higher compensation.

Board President Karla Silvestre told MoCo360 on Thursday that the study will be used to evaluate how the board can do its job more effectively. Ultimately, she said, the decision to increase compensation and make board members full time is in the hands of the state legislature.

“We want to be prepared, yes, to advocate to increase the capacity of the board to be able to be more effective,” Silvestre said. “We want to be ready to have a conversation with a study such as this and other ideas that we have.”  [/QUOTE][/quote]
