194. Notwithstanding any power granted under special Acts, the remuneration that a school board may pay to its commissioners and the other benefits and advantages that it may grant to them for all services rendered by them in any capacity to the school board and to indemnify them for a part of their expenses shall be fixed by the school board, but must not exceed the maximum amount determined by the Government, which may also determine the proportion of such remuneration paid as an indemnity for a part of their expenses. That remuneration and the other benefits and advantages may be fixed so that they vary according to the functions that a commissioner fills for the school board.
A school board may also authorize payment of expenses actually incurred on its behalf by a commissioner who is one of its members, and of travel and lodging expenses he has incurred for the purpose of attending its meetings, provided it has authorized such expenses, and, in the case of travel expenses, as long as they are paid according to the rate determined by the school board.
