Virtual General Body PTA Meeting on Tuesday, June 11, at 6 p.m.
On Tuesday, June 11, the PTA will hold the last General Body Meeting of the school year, where we will consider a proposal to amend the bylaws to permit the Board to temporarily fill vacancies by Board appointment until an election can be held. Below is the language the Board will ask the General Body to consider:
Amending section 6b to read as follows: "The executive board shall fill a vacancy in any office other than President through special election; provided, that the executive board may appoint, by majority vote, individuals to serve in vacant positions in an interim capacity. Individuals appointed to fill a vacancy in an interim capacity may serve for no more than 90 days from the date of their appointment."
