1064
. No member of the governing board of a school district or a
community college district shall be absent from the state for more
than 60 days, except in any of the following situations:
(a) Upon business of the school district or community college
district with the approval of the board.
(b) (1) With the consent of the governing board of the school
district or community college district for an additional period not
to exceed a total absence of 90 days.
(2) In the case of illness or other urgent necessity, and upon a
proper showing thereof, the time limited for absence from the state
may be extended by the governing board of the school district or
community college district.
(c) For federal military deployment, not to exceed an absence of a
total of six months, as a member of the Armed Forces of the United
States or the California National Guard. If the absence of a member
of the governing board of a school district or community college
district pursuant to this subdivision exceeds six months, the
governing board may approve an additional six-month absence upon a
showing that there is a reasonable expectation that the member will
return within the second six-month period, and the governing board
may appoint an interim member to serve in his or her absence. If two
or more members of the governing board of a school district or
community college district are absent by reason of the circumstances
described in this subdivision, and those absences result in the
inability to establish a quorum at a regular meeting, the governing
board may immediately appoint one or more interim members as
necessary to enable the governing board to conduct business and
discharge its responsibilities.
(d) The term of an interim member of the governing board of a
school district or community college district appointed pursuant to
subdivision (c) may not extend beyond the return of the absent
member, nor may it extend beyond the next regularly scheduled
election for that office.
