Board of Directors  

Montesano School District No. 66  

Annual Organizational Meeting  

At the first regular meeting at which newly-elected board members are seated in election years  and at the first regular meeting in December in non-election years, the board will elect from  among its members a chair and a vice chair to serve one-year terms. A newly appointed board  member will not be eligible to serve as an officer unless a majority of the board has been  appointed.  

If a board member is unable to continue to serve as an officer, a replacement will be elected  immediately. In the absence of both the chair and the vice chair, the board will elect a president  pro tempore who will perform the functions of the chair during the latter’s absence.  

The superintendent will act as board secretary and perform all the duties as outlined by law. In  order to provide a record of the proceedings of each meeting of the board, the superintendent will  appoint a recording secretary of the board.  

In even-numbered years in June, a WSSDA legislative representative will be elected to serve a  two-year term.  

The normal order of business will be modified for the annual organizational meeting by  considering the following matters, after the approval of the minutes of the previous meeting:  A. Welcome and introduction of newly elected board members by the chair;  B. Call for nominations for chair to serve during the ensuing year;  

C. Election of a chair (roll call vote);  

D. Assumption of office by the new chair;  

E. Call for nominations for vice chair to serve during the ensuing year; and  F. Election of a vice chair (roll call vote).  

Policies will continue from year to year and board to board until and unless the board changes  them.
