Bill Summary

Under current law at N.J.S.18A:12-15, in many cases a vacancy in the membership of a board of education is filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the board after the vacancy occurs. This bill provides that in those cases, if the vacancy to be filled is a vacancy on the board of a limited purpose regional school district, the vacancy will be filled by a majority vote of the members of the board of education of the constituent district represented by the former board member.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law (N.J.S.18A:12-15) to provide that in cases where there is a vacancy in the membership of the board of education of a limited purpose regional school district, the vacancy will be filled by a majority vote of the members of the board of education of the constituent district represented by the former board member, rather than by a majority vote of the remaining members of the board of the limited purpose regional school district. This change applies to all other cases where a vacancy occurs, except for those specific situations already covered in the existing law.
