Ohio Code 3311.056 – Plan for adding appointed members to board
The elected members of an educational service center governing board may by resolution adopt a plan for adding appointed members to that governing board. A plan may provide for adding to the board a number of appointed members that is up to one less than the number of elected members on the board except that the total number of elected and appointed board members shall be an odd number. A plan shall provide for the terms of the appointed board members. The appointed board members in each plan shall be appointed by a majority vote of the full number of elected members on the board and vacancies shall be filled as provided in the plan. Each plan shall specify the qualifications for the appointed board members of an educational service center including the experience, knowledge, and skills that advance the mission and vision of the service center. Appointed members may be representative of the client school districts of the service center that are not otherwise represented on the board. As used in this section, “client school district” has the same meaning as in section 3311.0510 of the Revised Code.
