HB 1173 Vacancies on elected school boards.
Introduced by: Leo C. Wardrup, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Vacancies on elected school boards. Empowers an elected school board, like a local governing body, to make interim appointments to fill vacancies in its membership and to petition to hold a special election to fill such vacancies. If a majority of the board members cannot agree on an interim appointment or do not act, or if a majority of the seats are vacant, the circuit court judges will make the interim appointment. Boards comprised of elected and appointed members shall be treated as elected boards. Under current law, the majority of judges in the particular circuit court make interim appointments to fill vacancies in an elected school board. A corresponding amendment to § 15.1-644 makes this revised process applicable to elected school boards in counties having the county manager form of government (Henrico).
