Oath of Office 1125P

HAGERMAN JOINT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 233

Oath of Office

An oath of office is required to be administered to each School Board Trustee, whether elected, re-elected, or appointed. Before any Trustee, elected or appointed, enters upon the duties of his or her office, he or she must take the following oath:

I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Idaho, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of Trustee of the Joint Hagerman School District # 233 according to the best of my ability.

The oath is required to be administered by the clerk or by a Trustee. Additionally, the records of the District are required to show that such oath of office has been taken and by whom the oath was administered. Finally, this information is required to be filed with the official records of the District.

A Trustee holds office from January 1 following their election in November until January 1 in the year in which his or her term of office expires, unless he or she:

1. Dies;
2. Resigns as Trustee;
3. Removes him or herself from the trustee zone of residence;
4. Is no longer a resident or school district elector of the District;
5. Refuses to serve as Trustee;
6. Fails to attend four consecutive regular meetings of the Board without an acceptable excuse to the Board of Trustees; or
7. Is recalled and discharged from office.

If the Trustee is appointed, the oath of office must be administered at a regular board meeting. When appointed, he or she holds office from the time he or she takes the oath of office until January 1 in the year in which the original term of office to which he or she was appointed expires, unless he or she:

1. Dies;
2. Resigns as Trustee;
