Summary

The city board may make appointments to the board of the municipal school district when two city board members have relatives who are employed by the district. However, the city board members whose relatives are employed with the school district should fully recuse themselves from all matters involving the municipal separate school district in order to fully comply with Section 25-4-101, Miss. Code of 1972, and should vote on appointments to the school board only when their recusal would result in the loss of a quorum.
