There’s one thing that past and current Los Angeles school board members seem to agree on: They’ve been underpaid. Board members who have no other outside employment will see their pay increase to $125,000 a year from $45,637. L.A. City Council members receive $191,000 a year. Part of the problem for school board members was bad timing. In 2007, a debate raged over the proper role of a school board member.
