  • Section 11.051, Education Code

    (d) A board of trustees of an independent school district eligible to receive an allotment under Section 48.101(b) that has seven members may by resolution decrease the membership to five if the board certifies to the commissioner that in the two preceding trustee elections the board was unable to fill all trustee seats on the board. A resolution decreasing the number of trustees takes effect with the next regular election of trustees that occurs after the adoption of the resolution and does not shorten the term of any trustee in office when the resolution is adopted. The resolution must provide for a transition in the number of trustees so that when the transition is complete, trustees are elected as provided by Section 11.059.
