How to fill empty seats on the Board of Education
When a Board of Education member leaves, dies, or is removed, the governor must tell the Senate in writing within 10 days. The governor then appoints a replacement with Senate approval. If the chairperson's seat is empty, the governor can pick a current member for that role and fill the new empty seat the same way.
The statute, as written — Board of education; vacancies
(a) The governor shall notify the senate in writing within ten days of: (1) Removing a member of the board; or (2) Receiving notification that a member of the board is resigning or has died; provided that any vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, in accordance with sections 302A-121, 302A-122, 302A-123, 302A-126, and 302A-127. (b) Where the chairperson position becomes vacant, the governor may nominate a sitting member of the board to the chairperson position in accordance with subsection (a) and shall fill any resulting vacancy in accordance with subsection (a).
