First place to go - Robert's Rules Of Order - in 1876 when Henry M. Robert published his manual on parliamentary Law (Robert's Rules of Order). Today, these rules of operation are used for many deliberative assemblies.
Impeachment Procedure
The Associated Press gave this outline for the path of impeachment for a president. There must be some mechanism for a school committee person.
"1. Evidence incriminating an officer holder is delivered to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
2. House Rules Committee asks the House to approve a resolution that transmits a report to the Judiciary Committee and establishes procedures for conducting an initial investigation.
3. The Judiciary Committee holds a hearing. The committee sent four articles of impeachment (similar to an indictment) to the full House.
4. A majority of the House must vote to approve the articles of impeachment. The House approved two articles, Saturday, December 19th, 1998.
5. The senate, presided over by the Chief justice, sits as a court to hear charges. A two-thirds vote is needed to convict.
6. Upon conviction, the president is removed form office and the vice president is sworn in."
REASONS FOR REMOVAL FROM OFFICE
What would be some of the reasons for removing someone from office?
1. not attending meetings and not doing the designated work
2. embezzlement of funds or other criminal activities
3. harming the good name of the organization
3. harming the good name of the organization
4. abusing the privilege of the
office of president -- such as not allowing members to make motions, to
debate, pushing through a personal agenda, ignoring the bylaws when it
is for his purpose.
SPECIAL COMMENT
It is this author’s opinion that
when there is a serious problem in an organization the members need to
go to the person first. If an officer is not fulfilling his obligations,
then someone should talk to him about it. Does he need help? Does he
not understand what his work is and how to do it? Try to work with the
person. Then if he continues to neglect his duties it is time to rescind
his election.
