§ 13277 Board Vacancy Filling

• •If a board member leaves early, the rest of the board can pick a new member.
• •If the board has rules about picking members from certain areas, the new member must come from the same area as the one who left.
• •The board can either pick the new member themselves or let the people in that area vote.

Imagine a school board where each member represents a different neighborhood. If the board member from the Green Valley neighborhood quits, the other board members can vote to pick a new person from Green Valley to take their place.

The board can either pick the new person themselves or call a special meeting for people in Green Valley to vote on who should join the board.
