§ 79636 Commission Vacancy Appointment Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone leaves the commission (like quits, dies, or can't do the job anymore), the spot needs to be filled.
  • •The commission picks a new person to finish the remaining time of the term.
  • •The new person must meet all the same rules and requirements as the person they're replacing.
  • •The commission must agree on the new person by a majority vote.

Example

Imagine a member of the school board moves away and can't be on the board anymore.

The rest of the school board would vote to pick a new person to take over the empty spot until the next election. The new person has to meet all the same rules, like living in the right area, just like the person they're replacing.
