THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VACANCIES

In case of a board vacancy, the remaining board members shall fill such vacancy by appointment. The board will receive applications from any qualified persons seeking to fill the position after suitable public notice. The board will appoint one of the candidates to serve until the next regularly scheduled election, at which time a director shall be elected for the unexpired term, if any.

The appointment shall be approved, by a roll call vote, by not less than three members of the board. If there are fewer than three members remaining on the board, the educational service district board members shall appoint a sufficient number to constitute a legal majority of the board. Should the board fail to fill a vacancy within ninety (90) days from the creation of such vacancy, the educational service district board members shall fill such vacancy by appointment. Appointees shall be United States citizens and qualified voters resident in the school district and appropriate director district, if any.
