The Board of Education, consisting of nine members, shall continue
to exercise all of the powers and perform all of the duties conferred
or imposed upon Boards of Education in towns by the General Statutes.
The members of the Board of Education shall be electors of the Town.
Members of the Board of Education shall be elected for a term
of four years, with four members elected at one biennial municipal
election and five members elected at the next biennial municipal election.
At each such election any elector may vote for the total number of
members of the Board of Education to be elected at such election,
and each political party shall have the right to nominate as many
persons as there are vacancies on the Board, provided there shall
be minority representation on the Board of Education in accordance
with § 9-167a of the General Statutes. All elections and
nominations to the membership of the Board shall be made in accordance
with the statutory requirements of the State of Connecticut.
If a vacancy occurs in the office of any member of the Board
of Education, it may be filled by the remaining members of the Board
until the next regular biennial municipal election, at which election
a successor shall be elected for the unexpired portion of the term,
and the official ballot shall specify the vacancy to be filled. If
the Board of Education fails to fill any vacancy which occurs on the
Board within 90 days after the vacancy occurs, the Board of Selectmen
may fill such vacancy until the next biennial municipal election.
