Concerning school board compensation.

HB 2366 raises the daily compensation for Washington school board members from $50 to $100 (capping annual pay at $13,750, with excess pay over $3,000 requiring specific board approval). It requires school districts to cover training costs for board members on funding and finance, mandating all current and new directors to complete this training within one year of their term. The bill also establishes automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments for compensation based on the consumer price index. School districts must fund these changes using local tax revenue, and the training program provisions depend on specific budget appropriations by June 2026.
