Procedures modification to fill a school board vacancy

Summary

The proposal amends state law so that when a school board seat opens, the board must first ask the candidate who received the next most votes in the last election to take the position. If that person declines, the board can appoint someone else, but the appointment can be blocked by a petition signed by at least 5% of district voters. The change aims to make vacancy fills more reflective of voter choice while still allowing board discretion.
