AI Summary
This bill amends KRS 160.190 to change the process for filling a vacancy on a local board of education. The key provisions are:
1) A vacancy on a local board of education will now be filled by a majority vote of the remaining board members within 60 days, rather than being appointed by the chief state school officer.
2) The local board must solicit applications for the vacancy by posting a notice on the district's website and publishing an advertisement in the county's largest newspaper for 2 weeks.
3) If the local board fails to make an appointment within 60 days, the chief state school officer will fill the vacancy.
4) The appointed member must meet the eligibility requirements and will serve until the next regular election, when the vacancy will be filled for the remainder of the term.
5) The bill also makes conforming changes to KRS 160.210 regarding the election of local board members.
