What this document actually says
Board Policy 9250: How Board Members Are Compensated (Last updated February 2021)
Reed Union School District board members voluntarily serve without pay, though state law allows compensation. The district reimburses board members for necessary expenses when conducting official business—like attending conferences, community events, or meetings with officials—at the same rates as district staff. Personal expenses (alcohol, family travel, entertainment, traffic tickets) are not reimbursed. Board members may participate in the district's health insurance program but must pay full premium costs themselves. Former board members who served at least one full term may continue participating in health benefits at their own expense until age 65. All benefits must match those offered to regular district employees.
What this means for your family
What This Means for Families: This policy ensures board members serve the community without receiving salaries, keeping more district funds available for students and schools. When board members travel for training or advocacy that benefits Reed students, the district covers legitimate business expenses. Since board members pay for their own health insurance and don't receive compensation, this minimizes costs to taxpayers while allowing the district to attract qualified volunteers to govern local schools.
