Policy 242: Trustee Qualifications

At the time of the nomination and election, or appointment to the board of trustees, each trustee must be eighteen (18) years of age, a United States citizen, an elector of the district and a resident of the trustee zone from which he or she is nominated, or appointed, for a period of at least thirty (30) days prior to the nomination and election, or appointment.

Each trustee will qualify for and assume office at noon on January 1 next succeeding the election, or, if appointed, at the regular meeting of the board next following such appointment.

At the first meeting after a trustee assumes office, an oath of office will be administered to each trustee, whether elected, re-elected, or appointed.  The oath may be administered by the clerk, or by another trustee of the district, and the records will show such oath of office to have been taken and by who administered and will be filed with the official records of the district.
