Vermont § 423 - Directors, number, election; term

§ 423. Directors, number, election; term

• (a) Each town school district shall have a school board consisting of three directors,
  one of whom shall be elected by ballot at each annual meeting of the town school district
  for a term of three years, beginning the day of election or until a successor is elected
  and qualified, unless a town school district is a member of a unified union district. (b) The electorate may vote at an annual or special town school district meeting to elect
  not more than two additional directors for terms of either one or two years. When
  the terms are to be for two years, the warning for the meeting shall so specify.
  If two additional directors are elected, they shall have terms of the same length,
  but if the terms are to be for two years, when the additional directors are first
  elected, one shall be elected for one year and the other director for two years.
  Terms of these additional directors shall end on annual meeting days. If the additional
  directors are elected at a special meeting, the term of those elected for one year
  shall expire on the next annual meeting day and those elected for two years shall
  expire on the second annual meeting day following their election. (c) The electorate shall continue to elect additional school directors until it votes
  at a meeting duly warned for the purpose to rescind its previous action under subsection
  (b) of this section; but the additional directors then in office shall continue in
  office until the end of the term to which they were elected. (d) A town school district that holds its annual meeting on a day other than annual town
  meeting day may vote to elect its officers and its representative directors to union
  school districts on town meeting day. Their terms of office shall commence on the
  annual school district meeting day unless the district votes to have the terms of
  office commence on town meeting day. (Added 1969, No. 298 (Adj. Sess.), § 43; amended 1983, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), eff. April 13, 1984.)
