Fairfax school board increases member salaries, approves equity plan

Starting next year, Fairfax County School Board members will earn about 50 percent more after the board approved salary increases Monday night.

The increase for school board members is the first since 2015, and it follows by just months the County Board of Supervisors’to more $120,000, drawing sharp criticism from residents and county employees. The first pay increase proposed Monday night would have lifted a regular board member’s salary to $60,404 to match the county’swith a master’s degree. Board members said in the meeting that $48,000 better matched the salaries of paid school boards of similar size around the country. Fairfax County has Virginia’s largest school district, with more than 180,000 students and 10,000 employees.

She said higher pay also could open the opportunity for serving on school boards to more people from a wider range of backgrounds.
