§ 558. Eligibility for election to a school board; employment of school board members

(a) A legal voter in a school district shall be eligible for election to a school board; however, a member of a school board may not be regularly employed by the school district or by a school district within the same supervisory union or by the same supervisory union during the board member's term of office. This section shall not apply to a school board member in office on the date of passage, but shall apply to any subsequent terms of office held by such persons.

(b) The commissioner may waive the provisions of this section for employment of a specific individual as a substitute teacher, coach or supervisor of extracurricular activities for a period not to exceed one year, which may be renewed, in circumstances in which the school district or supervisory union is unable to hire another qualified person through no fault of its own. (Added 1969, No. 298 (Adj. Sess.), § 35; amended 1989, No. 188 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
