Professional Report

City boards shall consist of not less than three nor more than five members elected at large in districts of less than 50,000 persons. In city districts of 50,000 or more but less than 150,000 persons, the board shall consist of not less than two nor more than seven members elected at large and not more than two members elected from sub-districts. In cities of 150,000 or more, the board shall consist of not less than five nor more than seven members elected at large. (Legislation in 1997 provided for a method whereby a mayor could appoint the board of education in a “municipal school district.” However, a “municipal school district” is one that is, or has been, under a federal court order that requires supervision by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.) For joint vocational school districts, when composed only of two or more districts located in one county or when all the districts are in one county and the boards of these districts so choose, the educational service center board may serve as the joint vocational district board. In such an instance, the ESC superintendent becomes the JVSD superintendent. However, it does not appear that a second contract as JVSD superintendent would be issued although additional compensation is authorized. Where the vocational district is composed of local districts of more than one county, or of any combination of districts, and unless the districts have chosen the county board for administration, the joint vocational board shall be composed of one or more persons who are members from each participating county, city, and exempted village board of education. The number and terms of the members shall be determined in the joint vocational school district plan...provided that each joint vocational school district board of education shall be composed of an odd number of members. Where a joint vocational board of education is composed of elected city and exempted village board of education members and members of the governing board of an educational service center, the board can submit a plan to replace ESC board members with members of a local board of education or to add members from local boards of education. This plan must be approved by the joint vocational district board of education, a majority of the local boards of education included within the JVS, each educational service center governing board affected by the plan, and ultimately the state board of education. When there is an even number of districts within a joint vocational school district, one member is to be appointed on a rotating basis among the member districts for a term of one year. In cities of 50,000 but less than 150,000, boards, which have elected to have sub-districts, must redistrict within three months after the announcement of federal census results. In any city district, 10% of the electors may initiate a petition asking electors “what shall be the number of members and what shall be the organization of the board...?”
