The Board of Education shall organize at its first regular meeting by electing one of its members as President and another as Vice President.

Any Board member may place a Board member's name in nomination for Board President and Vice President; a second on the nomination is not required.  Election for each office will be conducted by a vote when the nominations for that office are closed. 

Voting shall take place by verbal roll call vote after nominations are closed.  When more than one person has been nominated for a single position, the Board will vote on candidates in the order in which they were nominated.  

Elect Officers With a Majority Vote of all the Board Members Present 
The person with the majority vote of the members of the Board present and constituting a quorum shall be elected.  In the event no candidate receives a majority vote of the Board members present and constituting a quorum, the procedure shall be repeated until someone receives a majority vote of those Board members present and constituting a quorum.
Officers shall serve for one year and until their respective successors are elected and shall qualify, but if the Board shall fail to hold the organization meeting or to elect Board officers as prescribed by N.J.S.A. 18A:15-1, the Executive County Superintendent shall appoint from among the members of the Board a President and/or Vice-President.  

A President or Vice-President who refuses to perform a duty imposed upon them by law may be removed by a majority vote of all of the members of the Board.  In the event the office of President or Vice-President shall become vacant the Board shall, within thirty days thereafter fill the vacancy for the unexpired term.
