The Bryan County Board of Education is asking state lawmakers to pass legislation to give its members a pay raise for the first time since 2009 and also make future school board elections nonpartisan.
The BOE made the request in a pair of resolutions Jan. 28 at the board’s meeting in Richmond Hill.
One resolution notes school board members currently earn $150 per meeting but can be paid no more than $300 a month, and asks legislators to increase it to $875 per month for the chairman and $750 per month for board members, as well as reimbursing members for expenses they incur while on school board business.
TAKE A HIKE OR RIDE A BIKE
Immersing in nature while hitting the trail is a huge stress reliever, whether it’s for a miles-long bike ride or a short walk with a four-legged friend. Along the way, the Lowcountry’s forested nature can look fascinating during the winter season. Try these trails around the area:
Skidaway Island State Park
The six miles of trails here offer glimpses of coastal Georgia wildlife. There are common sightings of deer, raccoons, and fiddler crabs, as well as excellent birding opportunities on any of the paths. The popular Sandpiper Trail Loop winds through marshes and creeks for about a mile, and is ADA accessible and allows dogs on leashes, but this path is closed to bicycles. The Big Ferry Loop does allow bikes, stretching three miles through the park. The one-mile Avian Loop Trail passes the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Connector Trail ties them all together.
