[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is the kind of discussion which turns a lot of talented people against running for BOE. Who wants to be subject to so much public criticism for negligible compensation?[/quote]

Its a board position a few times a week.  Its not a full-time job.  Karla works at MC, which is why they funnel so much money to it.  Real question is how much work does she actually do at MC if 2-3 days a week she's doing BOE stuff.[/quote]

They did a study (trying to convince the state legislature to allow them to be paid more) and they work 40+ hours a week most weeks.  And honestly there are a lot of things they aren't doing that they should do on top of that too, like requesting and reading relevant materials in-depth in advance of meetings to be able to ask the right questions and conduct real oversight.[/quote]

Even if they were paid more they would not all that.  Let’s be real.  Most board members receive no compensation as it’s not a true job.  [/quote]
