GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) It is a ground for removal from the board if a trustee:
(1) violates a prohibition established by Section 815.0031;
(2) cannot discharge the person's duties for a substantial part of the term for which the person is appointed or elected because of illness or disability; or
(3) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled board meetings that the person is eligible to attend during a calendar year unless the absence is excused by majority vote of the board.
(b) The validity of an action of the board is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a trustee exists.
(c) If the executive director has knowledge that a potential ground for removal exists, the executive director shall notify the presiding officer of the board of the ground. The presiding officer shall then notify the appropriate appointing officer, if any, that a potential ground for removal exists.
