§ 79447 Commission Vacancy Appointment Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a public member leaves the commission (because they can't serve anymore, die, quit, or are removed), their spot can be filled.
  • •The secretary picks a new person from a list of nominees suggested by the commission.
  • •The new person must meet all the same rules as the person they're replacing.
  • •The new person only serves the rest of the term, not a full new term.

Example

Imagine a member of a school board quits because they move out of the district.

The board would suggest a few people to replace them. The secretary would then pick one of those people to finish the term, as long as they meet all the rules (like living in the district).
