§ 11.051. GOVERNANCE OF INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT;
NUMBER OF TRUSTEES. (a) An independent school district is governed
by a board of trustees who, as a body corporate, shall oversee the
management of the district.
(b) The board consists of the number of members that the
district had on September 1, 1995.
(c) A board of trustees that has three or five members may by
resolution increase the membership to seven. A board of trustees
that votes to increase its membership must consider whether the
district would benefit from also adopting a single-member election
system under Section 11.052. A resolution increasing the number of
trustees takes effect with the second regular election of trustees
that occurs after the adoption of the resolution. 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.
Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 260, § 1, eff. May 30, 1995.
