Consideration of Board Policy BHD revision.
Board members must declare potential conflict of interest under ORS 224.020 prior to discussion.
Description:
From OSBA summary attachment: In 2023, the Oregon Legislature passed HB 2753, removing the prohibition on district school board members receiving compensation and authorizing stipends. However, Oregon ethics laws made implementation of stipends challenging. This year, the Oregon Legislature passed SB 983 (2025), removing one of the barriers related to budget adoption, making it simpler for board members to receive stipends.
As many districts currently have policy language prohibiting any compensation for board members, one of the first steps towards stipends is to amend this language. Updating this policy does not mean that stipends will automatically be provided: payment of stipends is generally contingent upon board action on the budget, resolutions, or both. Consideration of this policy update is likely considered a potential conflict of interest under ORS 244.020. Board members are encouraged to declare this conflict during any board meeting in which this policy is considered in accordance with ORS 244.120. Boards can move forward with amendment to this policy, even if the board does not want to provide stipends at this time. Once this policy is updated, boards are encouraged to work with legal counsel if the board is interested in providing stipends to its members. |
