Attorney Dan Harrell explained that Florida Statute 1001.395 revised the method by which
School Board Member compensation was determined. The new statute requires that each district school board annually determine the salary of its members at the first regular meeting following the organizational meeting. The Florida School Board Association recommended that board member salaries continue to be calculated in accordance with the formula adopted by the
Florida Legislature for all constitutional officers.

Mr. Ingersoll against).
Discussion: prior to stating the question, Mr. Ingersoll, as a newly elected and sworn School
Board member, said it was hard to vote for a pay raise when he had just taken his oath of office twenty minutes earlier. Even though it was a state law, Mr. Ingersoll said he did not feel it was right for him and he was uncomfortable voting for the increase at this time.
ADJOURNMENT
After considering all business scheduled to come before the Board, Chairman Carvelli adjourned the November 21, 2006 organizational meeting at approximately 5:40 p.m.
