Calgary public school board trustees will be asked Tuesday to approve spending $25,000 on a consultant to review their compensation and benefits in comparison to other elected officials.
Trustees are paid $46,618 a year, with chairwoman Pat Cochrane receiving an extra honorarium of $10,476, and vice-chair Lynn Ferguson an extra $5,238.
That has remained the same for the past five years. This spring, a trustee remuneration committee recommended an in-depth review for this school year.
In a report going to trustees Tuesday, they are recommending a consultant be hired to prepare an independent review that would look at “compensation philosophy” and what other jurisdictions pay. CBE staff would help prepare some of the information. That review would be submitted to the remuneration committee, made up of two CBE trustees and four members of the public. The committee would make a recommendation on pay and benefits in early spring.
