Via Reddit: A city commission approved a raise of 174 percent for Los Angeles Unified School District board members who are not employed elsewhere.
Part time members with other paying jobs outside of their board duties will get $50,000 a year, almost doubling their previous salary of $26,000. Board members with only LAUSD jobs will see their salary jump from $46,000 to $125,000 a year.
Lupita Sanchez Cornejo, who chairs the LA Board of Education compensation review committee that approved the raises, said the decision was unanimous.
"When we heard testimony that talked about the hours that they spend, easily over 40, 50, 60 hours in school district business, it was logical. Everyone agreed," she said.

What's the problem? Just keep raising taxes.
Better, tell all the Unido US Trump will get them if they don't ante up.
Voting themselves a pay raise. Must be nice! This is for all the non-union employees who haven't been able to participate in the free-public-money for all as yet.
Meanwhile, the customer is getting a consistently more crappy product. And nobody cares.
One of my law professors - a real dick but a true believer and consistent about it - brought a lawsuit way back when in which a student attempted to sue the San Francisco Unified School District for failing to educate him. Rejected. Bumped at the pleading stage. Courts have consistently failed to find a cause of action for educational malpractice citing to a variety of ridiculous rationales (no workable standard of care, don't want to second-guess educator's expertise, unable to precisely determine causation and damages, "concern" over excessive litigation). Somehow none of these rationales apply in EVERY OTHER CASE of malpractice.
It's time for a change. I think we should also be able to fire public servants for bad performance, like Trump is doing to all those rats at the VA. MORE of that, please.
Wow. I never made that kinda money working as an engineer at NASA.

I remember that.
But, of course, the Lefty courts don't want to hear it. If the rubes ever wake up, it's pitchforks and torches time.
If we all do a really shitty job, and just vote correctly, we can all get this kind of merit pay.
