§ 1914. Board of education; number and election. For any central high
school district formed on or after July first, nineteen hundred
eighty-one, the order of the commissioner establishing such central high
school district shall specify the number of members to constitute the
board of education of such district and the number of members
representing each of the districts included in such district. The number
of members of such board shall be not less than five. There shall be at
least one member of such board from each component school district. The
board of education of each union free school district or central school
district in such central high school district shall appoint the number
of persons so designated by the commissioner to represent such district
as members of the board of education thereof. In each common school
district having a sole trustee, such trustee shall represent such
district as a member of the board of education of such central high
school district. If a common school district has three trustees, such
board of trustees shall designate one of its members to represent such
district as a member of such board of education. The persons so
designated shall be members of the board of education of the central
high school district during their terms of office as members of the
board of education or as trustees of the districts respectively
represented by them. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office of a
member of the board of education of such central high school district,
it shall be filled as above provided; except that each component school
district may choose to fill vacancies from its district on the central
high school district board by election.
