SB 1795 changes how vacancies on independent school district boards of trustees are filled. The bill removes the option for remaining trustees to fill vacancies by appointment and requires that vacancies be filled in the district’s next general election or a special election. Additionally, it allows property taxpayers in the district to sue to enforce compliance, waiving governmental immunity for such lawsuits.
