A school director must remain a resident of the school district to be eligible to continue to serve as a school board member. If a director’s residence changes to a place outside the district, the director must resign and his/her eligibility to serve ends with the change of residence.

Upon receipt of a director's written resignation for any reason, the board shall consider the resignation at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The board shall then accept the resignation by formal action and declare the board position vacant unless the resignation is withdrawn any time prior to the board's action.
