4. Election of Officers
Description:
The School Board has traditionally elected 4 officers though only a chair, clerk and treasurer are required. Directors currently holding offices retain those offices until they are replaced. In the event of a tie vote for an incumbent position, the incumbent retains the position. Tie votes for open positions require continued attempts to break the tie or, failing that, some type of compromise, or the responsibility falls to the next officer in line until the tie can be resolved. Nominations do not require a second. Officers are voted on in the order nominated until someone is elected.
