This legislation provides the transaction of business can still occur when one or more vacancies exist on a board of trustees if a majority of remaining members of the board are present. It also clarifies that, if a special recall election is successful, a vacancy exists at the time the election is certified by the board of county commissions, and that the board of trustees does not have to declare the vacancy. Lastly, it clarifies that a trustee, subject to recall, is ineligible to vote on any actions that would alter the structures of the board or create new contractual or financial obligations for the school district between the period of the special recall election and when the board of county commissioners certified the election.
