Should School Board members be paid? We want to hear from you. ¿Se debe pagar a los miembros de la Junta Escolar? Queremos escuchar de ti.

The State of Colorado passed a new law (HB21-1055) that allows for a district to consider paying future School Board Members. The Lake County School Board sees the benefit in allowing pay for board members to recruit and attract community members who may otherwise have financial barriers to serving on the Board. We would like to hear your thoughts on the idea of compensating school board members. Please provide your input by May 15. You are also invited to share your input during public participation at upcoming school board meetings. These meetings are held the second and fourth Monday of the month at 6:30PM at the District Administration Office (315 W. 5th Street). We appreciate your input.El Estado de Colorado aprobó una nueva ley (HB21-1055) que permite que un distrito considere pagar a los futuros miembros de la Junta Escolar. La Junta Escolar del Condado de Lake ve el beneficio de permitir que se pague a los miembros de la junta para que recluten y atraigan a miembros de la comunidad que de otro modo podrían tener barreras financieras para servir en la Junta. Nos gustaría conocer su opinión sobre la idea de compensar a los miembros de la junta escolar. Proporcione su opinión antes del 15 de mayo. También está invitado a compartir su opinión durante la participación pública en las próximas reuniones de la junta escolar. Estas reuniones se llevan a cabo el segundo y cuarto lunes del mes a las 6:30 p. m. en la Oficina de Administración del Distrito (315 W. 5th Street). Apreciamos su entrada.
