Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled"The revised school code,"by amending section 861 (MCL 380.861), as amended by 2008 PA 1.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for appointing school board members in the context of school district consolidation. Currently, when school districts consolidate, the intermediate school board must appoint school electors to serve as the new district's board within 10 days of the official election canvass. The bill removes the requirement that these newly appointed board members file an acceptance of office with an accompanying affidavit, while maintaining the other existing procedural details about their appointment and term. Specifically, the bill changes the language from requiring board members to file an "acceptance of the office, accompanied by" an affidavit to simply filing a written affidavit setting forth their eligibility. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation (House Bill 4793) and will only take effect if that bill is also enacted into law. The changes appear to slightly streamline the administrative process for newly appointed school board members during district consolidation.
