Appointing a New Trustee to the Board
From time to time, vacancies occur on a board of trustees, and boards must either schedule an election or appoint a person to fill the vacancy. The decision of who to appoint is an important one: the person selected should be able to represent the community well and to contribute wisely to board processes. The appointment process must be done in a timely manner and in accordance with law and regulations. Filling a vacancy through appointment or election is governed by Education Code Sections 5090 – 5095.
