BBE - Vacancies on the Board
Code: BBE
Readopted: 4/24/17
Adopted: 11/15/04
Orig. Code(s): BBE
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. If the vacancy occurs in a zone, the Board shall advertise at least for a 20-day period to find an eligible resident from the same zone. If an eligible zone resident cannot be found, the Board shall appoint one of the eligible residents from 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
- 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 remainder 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 directors of the Northwest Regional Education Service District shall appoint persons to fill the vacancies from qualified school district voters.
