ROCHESTER, Minn. - Members of the Rochester Public School Board have approved a pay raise for themselves.
Board members have been given the same $7,200 annual stipend since 1985. Now, they ll receive $16,000 each year, with the school board chair being granted an additional $1,600 for the additional work the role requires.
The change comes after a committee looking into the stipends recommended they be increased in order to keep up with inflation and cost of living.
