§ 1008 County Education Board Vacancies

This law says that if a spot opens up on a county school board after Dec 1 1978, the empty spot must be filled the way Article 3 (starting at Section 5090) of Chapter 1, Part 4 says.

Key Takeaways

  • •A vacancy on a county school board after Dec 1 1978 must be filled.
  • •The filling process follows the steps laid out in Article 3, starting at Section 5090, of Chapter 1, Part 4.
  • •The law only tells you *how* to fill the spot; it doesn’t change who can serve.

Example

A teacher leaves the county board of education in 1980, leaving a vacant seat.

Because the vacancy happened after Dec 1 1978, the board must follow the rules in Article 3 (Section 5090 onward) to pick someone to fill the seat.
