POLICY 1-3.2 SCHOOL BOARD OFFICERS
The officers of the Montgomery County School Board shall be a Chair and Vice-Chair. The Chair and the Vice-Chair shall be elected annually at the organizational meeting of the School Board.
School Board Chair
The duties of the Chair
shall be to preside at all meetings of the School Board, to perform such other
duties as may be prescribed by law or by action of the School Board, to sign
all legal documents approved by the School Board, and to serve as an ex-officio member of all School Board
committees. The Chair, as a member of the School Board, has a vote on all
matters before the School Board, which come to a vote, but does not have an
additional vote as Chair in case of a tie.
Vice-Chair
The Vice-Chair shall preside in the absence of the Chair, and shall be empowered to act in all matters in case of the absence or inability of the Chair to act or as provided by resolution of the School Board. If neither the Chair nor Vice-Chair is present, the majority of School Board members present, if they constitute a quorum, shall elect one from among themselves to chair the meeting. The Vice-Chair shall perform such other duties as the School Board may assign.
Vacancies THIS IS A PROPOSED NEW
SUBSECTION
In the event that the Chair of the School Board
should vacate his/her office prior to the expiration of his/her term, the Vice-Chair
shall assume the office of Chair and the School Board shall fill the Vice-Chair position
by election from its membership at its next regular meeting following the
acceptance of such notice of the Chair’s
vacating the office. A vacancy in the office of clerk or deputy clerk
shall be filled in the same manner in which the previous incumbent was
originally appointed on recommendation of the division superintendent.
