The Board of Education approved the increase during its meeting Tuesday night.
The decision drew criticism as the district remains in contract negotiations with the Modesto Teachers Association.
"Our MTA union hasn't negotiated its contract for the year we're currently in," Arviso said. "Teachers need to be paid, and teachers need to have a reliable source of income and health benefits."
"We have gone more than a year without a contract with the more than 1,200 in the teachers union," Marks said in a statement to CBS News Sacramento. "And this increase pours salt in the wound. We need to address the teachers' needs before the board's."
"The board recognizes the responsibilities of school board service while remaining mindful of the district's financial realities and the concerns raised by the community," the district said in a statement.
Other local districts have also increased board compensation following the change in state law. Stockton Unified School District approved monthly compensation of $3,000 in January.
