AB195

Under existing law, the board of trustees of a school district in which more than 75,000 pupils are enrolled (currently Clark County School District) is composed of eleven members, of whom: (1) seven voting members are elected from election districts established by the board of trustees; (2) one nonvoting member is appointed by the board of county commissioners of the county in which the school district is located; and (3) three nonvoting members are appointed by the governing bodies of the three most populous incorporated cities in the county in which the school district is located, with each governing body appointing one member. Existing law prohibits a nonvoting member from voting on the election of officers of the board of trustees or serving as an officer of the board of trustees. (NRS 386.165) Section 1 of this bill provides that the appointed members of the board of trustees of a school district in which more than 75,000 pupils are enrolled have the same duties, rights and responsibilities as the members of the board of trustees who are elected to the office. Section 1 prohibits a board of trustees from adopting a policy, bylaw or practice or otherwise restricting or curtailing the duties, rights or responsibilities of a member based on whether the member was elected or appointed to the office. Section 3 of this bill authorizes appointed members of a board of trustees to participate in the appointment of a member to fill a vacancy among the elected members of the board
