§ 18722 Board Acts Require Seven Votes

• •The state board must have at least seven members to make any decision.
• •If fewer than seven members agree, the decision doesn’t count.
• •This rule makes sure big decisions aren’t made by just a few people.

The state board is voting on whether to build a new school.

If only six members vote 'yes,' the decision fails. They need at least seven to agree for it to pass.
