The Governing Board is asked to approve the following Stipend payment totals for Board meetings attended in 2023:

Per Board Bylaw 9250, the members of the Board of Education are entitled to receive a Stipend of $50.00 per month ($600.00 annually). Board members can elect to decline this Stipend. Board members shall not receive compensation for meetings not attended.

The monthly compensation will be calculated as follows: Meetings Attended divided by the Meetings Held multiplied by $50.00 = monthly compensation. The Stipend will be paid annually in December for the previous calendar year. Outline of calculations attached. 

The reasoning for the stipends is in regard to medical benefits.  The Board member who elects to receive the same medical benefits as employees must be "active employees".  In order to be an active employee, the member must receive a stipend.  The stipend amount the Board member is eligible for is deducted from the District's contribution to medical benefits. 

Request for Approval of Payment, as follows:
