• Hm-m-m. There’s a new face / old name listed shown at the Columbia School Board webpage. How do you picked to a board when your name’s never appeared in any of the minutes all year long?

• “Vacancies caused by resignation, death, moving out of the district or region, etc., are filled by an appointment process conducted by the remaining board members. If less than two years remain before the former director’s term expires, a director appointed to fill that vacancy serves for the remainder of the term. However, if more than two years are left in the term, the new appointee will serve only until the first Monday in December following the first municipal election that is scheduled for more than 60 days after the vacancy occurred. In other words, unless the vacancy occurred less than 60 days prior to the nearest municipal election, the new director would have to run for election in order to serve longer than that. Thus, an appointee will serve two years at most unless elected to office in the next municipal election.” – Pennsylvania School Boards Association Website
