Re-Organize Lakeland Board
As a result of the release of Plain township and the reduction in die number of members on the Lakeland Community School Corporation’s board of trustees from five to four, the composition and the selection of board members was revised during the Tuesday evening meeting. Board members have spent much time in the past several months studying the best method for composition and selection of board members. The resolution passed Tuesday is the result of their work. The amendment, passed in 1965, to the release and annexation law, provides for school corporations involved in change of boundaries to reorganize their board representation and organization. This as we have mentioned is done by board resolution. The law further states that the plan shall be operable and feasible without shortening the terms of any of the present board members. In working out the resolution to reorganize the board, the following stipulations have been made: 1. The members shall all be elected by the registered voters of the complete corporation, j 2. The election of numbers of the board shall be , held at the time of the general election. (According to the law, they’ would take , office the following July 1.) 3.
