Section 162.471 Board of directors--qualifications, terms, vacancies.

162.471. The government and control of an urban school district is vested in a board of seven directors, except that in urban districts containing the greater part of a city of more than three hundred thousand inhabitants the board shall be composed of nine directors. Each director shall be a voter of the district, who has resided within this state for one year next preceding his election or appointment and who is at least twenty-four years of age. All directors, except as otherwise provided in section 162.481, hold their offices for six years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. All vacancies occurring in the board shall be filled by appointment by the board as soon as practicable, and the person appointed shall hold his office until the next school board election, when his successor shall be elected for the remainder of the unexpired term. The power of the board to perform any official duty during the existence of a vacancy continues unimpaired thereby.
