 1914. Board of education; number and election.  For any central high
  school  district  formed  on  or  after  July  first,  nineteen  hundred
  eighty-one, the order of the commissioner establishing such central high
  school district shall specify the number of members  to  constitute  the
  board   of  education  of  such  district  and  the  number  of  members
  representing each of the districts included in such district. The number
  of members of such board shall be not less than five. There shall be  at
  least  one member of such board from each component school district. The
  board of education of each union free school district or central  school
  district  in  such central high school district shall appoint the number
  of persons so designated by the commissioner to represent such  district
  as  members  of  the  board  of education thereof. In each common school
  district having a  sole  trustee,  such  trustee  shall  represent  such
  district  as  a  member  of  the board of education of such central high
  school district. If a common school district has  three  trustees,  such
  board  of  trustees shall designate one of its members to represent such
  district as a  member  of  such  board  of  education.  The  persons  so
  designated  shall  be  members  of the board of education of the central
  high school district during their terms of  office  as  members  of  the
  board  of  education  or  as  trustees  of  the  districts  respectively
  represented by them. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office  of  a
  member  of  the board of education of such central high school district,
  it shall be filled as above provided; except that each component  school
  district  may  choose to fill vacancies from its district on the central
  high school district board by election.
