Ahead of next month’s annual leadership elections, the Ann Arbor School Board is looking to make modifications to how its president is replaced.
The main change under consideration would be to hold a board election as quickly as possible if the president needs to be replaced. Under the current rules, the vice-president automatically takes over.
The new bylaw would instead hold the election at either the next regular or a special meeting if there is no vacancy on the board.
If a new trustee needs to be appointed, they would be prior to the president’s election.
Another change would increase the amount of Michigan Association of School Boards training for trustees and officers.
Board President Torchio Feaster has expressed the desire to step away from his leadership position next year.
UPDATE- Tonight's meeting has been postponed. The next School Board meeting is Wednesday, December 17.
