Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to providing that elections to fill an increased number of seats on a school board will be conducted at the annual meeting after the number of seats was increased
AI Summary
This bill modifies the New York education law regarding school board seat elections. Currently, when a school board increases its number of seats, the additional members would be elected at a special meeting called within 30 to 60 days. The proposed change stipulates that these new board members will instead be elected at the next annual meeting following the meeting where the number of seats was increased. During the period between the increase in seats and the first election, no vacancy will be considered to exist in these new positions, except for the purpose of filling them through election. This change simplifies the election process for new school board seats by aligning the election with the existing annual meeting schedule, potentially reducing administrative complexity and the need to organize a separate special meeting.
