Who can replace elected chairs? Indian River County School Board on edge of slippery slope

Monday, June 3, 2024

Indian River County School Board members stand near the edge of a political slippery slope.

It relates to an issue that could affect any elected board on the Treasure Coast.

On May 20, Indian River County School Board member Gene Posca suggested amending policy to allow the chair or vice chair to be replaced if the majority believe those officers "no longer represent the board's interest or carry out their duty appropriately."

Posca didn't offer a reason for the proposal, but said he doubted the ability to remove a chair or vice chair would be used often.
