§914. Requirements for districts
Regardless of when created, all district boards shall adopt:
(1) A policy statement ensuring recognition that one of the functions of the board is to establish a mission, vision, and policies for the operation of the district. The board shall set policy as a body and shall employ an executive director who shall be accountable to the board, as a body, for the implementation of the policies established by the board.
(2) Bylaws that specify that the board may act only as a body and not through the individual actions of any individual board member, unless the board member is given explicit authority by a majority vote of the board to carry out a specific function, or the function is reasonably required of a board member serving as an officer of the board. Under penalty of removal, no board member shall, directly or indirectly, provide direction to or interfere with any employee of the district.
