§ 1146 Board Powers And Quorum

This law says a group of three or more board members can make decisions for the whole board. Even if some seats are empty, the remaining members can still do their job as long as there are at least three.

Key Takeaways

•A small group of board members (at least three) can make decisions for the whole board.
•If some board members leave, the rest can still do their job as long as there are three or more left.
•New members are chosen the same way as the original members were.

Example

Imagine a school board with seven members. Two members leave, so now there are five left.

The five remaining members can still make decisions for the school because there are more than three left. They can also pick new members to fill the empty spots.

The board is authorized to delegate to any group of three or more board members any or all the powers which it may itself exercise. A vacancy in the board shall not impair the right of the remaining members to exercise all the powers of the board, and three members shall at all times constitute a quorum. A vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as an original appointment. (Added by Stats. 1975, 3rd Ex. Sess., Ch. 1.)
