I have always wondered about that and didn't know how to find out. Does anyone know if there is a salary related to being a Cheektowaga School Board member and if so, what is it?
Thanks,

My understanding is that school board members do not get any compensation. It is strictly a voluntary elected position.Originally Posted by bornandraised

I think some city school boards in NY get paid. I believe Buffalo's Board members get a small stipend (like $5,000.) As for suburban schools, the answer is no. Generally a thankless job without pay. True public servants, unlike most of today's elected officials.
charlie you know we school board members don't get paid , many have other ventures in mindOriginally Posted by charlie0407

In Alden a local childcare business owner ran for and won a seat on the SB. Guess which childcare biz. got the contract to provide the before- and after-school care right in the schools? Also, sometimes the kids make toys, etc. in their classes that are then 'donated' to the childcare biz. owned by the SB member! A for-profit biz!
I never thought of thatOriginally Posted by AldenBob
A similar situation happened at Depew. A recently elected school board member's son was granted a part-time summer job in June and now rumor has it his wife is up for a position at the high school this fall. Would that be considered compensation?Originally Posted by AldenBob
Only school board members of the 'Big 5' - New York, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Yonkers - receive compensation for their board service. Employment of a family member in the district is allowed, but along with doing business with the district, should always be heavily weighed for potential conflict of interest. Although, there are many board members and many layers in place to control any potential abuse of these positions.
Very seriously, how many larger accredited childcare companies are there in Alden that could handle a large number of children?Originally Posted by AldenBob
Have you thought about contacting the HR department of the school system and asking them?Originally Posted by bornandraised
That seems the logical place to start.

Alden bob,
No response?
There are other businesses that could handle it. As has been said in the past 'It is not just impropriety but the appearance of impropriety that must be avoided.'Originally Posted by crabapples
Want to be on the SB? Then remove your business from the running with the district. Tough choice, but so be it.
The truth of the matter is the superintedent of schools controls just about everything that goes on in the school. If he doesn't bring it to the table the board cant vote on anything. The power the board has, is only wanted he wants to give the shool board. If you have a great super you have a great school district, if not we have a district in trouble.Originally Posted by AldenBob
