Vacancies will be filled through Board appointment. The Board appointee must be a legally registered voter and a resident within the district for one year immediately preceding the appointment. Any vacancy on the Board from any zone shall be filled by the remaining Board members from among the qualified persons in that zone. Any such vacancy from the district at large shall be filled by the remaining Board members from the qualified persons in the district.
Board elections are held every odd-numbered year which for the purposes of this policy are termed “election” years. The appointee:
- Will serve until June 30 following the next “election,” at which time the individual elected in May of that year will fill the remaining portion of an unexpired term or serve a full four-year term; or
- Will serve until June 30 of a subsequent “election” year if the vacancy occurs after the filing date in an “election” year.
A Board member so elected as a replacement will serve the remaining year(s) of the term of office of the Board member being replaced.
Upon appointment by the Board, the newly appointed Board member(s) will be sworn and seated immediately.
If the offices of a majority of Board members are vacant at the same time, the State Board of Education shall appoint persons to fill the vacancies from qualified district voters.
