Procedures to fill a school board vacancy modified.

Summary

The bill changes how Minnesota school board vacancies are filled. When a seat opens, the board must first ask the candidate who received the next most votes in the last election to take the seat; only if that person declines can the board choose someone else. The appointment can be challenged by voters through a petition, and special‑election rules remain for most vacancies.
