NAPLES, Fla. Collier County School Board member Ericka Donalds believes board members shouldn’t be paid.
“It’s not right for the taxpayers to pay for something that should be a voluntary position,” Donalds said.
There are 10 states that allow board members to get a salary, and Florida is the highest. Collier County School Board members are paid $39,000.
“The other states that allow a salary are under $10,000,” Donalds said. “Some of those are $2,500 and $2,000.”
Although Donalds doesn’t agree with board members receiving a salary, she does think they should get a per diem rate and be reimbursed for travel.
