Sumter school board pay and benefits

Each Sumter County school board member receives $500 per month. Members can also receive up to $3,000 yearly for actual, necessary travel expenses on official business outside the county. This includes training sessions and statewide meetings. A majority of the board must approve the travel beforehand. Expenses must be approved and verified before repayment, using procedures set by the board. Members can join school district group insurance plans to the extent allowed by Georgia Code Section 20-2-55. These rules take effect the first day of the month after the Governor's approval or enactment without approval.
