Cooper, who represents the Chilcotin for the district, has been absent from board meetings since May 31 and, according to legislation, is therefore disqualified from holding office unit the next general school election, stated the board's Oct. 18 agenda.
It is expected that trustees wi hold a vote on a motion to call a special open meeting on Nov. 18 at 6:30 pm for the purpose of appointing a Chief Election Officer for the by-election for trustee in Zone 7.
