Minnesota HF4163 amends the procedures for filling school board vacancies, specifying that the board must first offer the seat to the person with the next highest number of votes from the most recent election. If the person declines, the board may appoint someone at its discretion. Special elections are required if the vacancy occurs less than 90 days before the term expires, and no special election is needed if the vacancy occurs less than two years before the term ends.
