Persons Elected (or Re-Elected) to the School Board at the Spring Election Must Take and File the Official Oath of Office —
On or prior to the fourth Monday in April, any school board member elected or re-elected to office at the spring election shall take and file the official oath. The school district clerk has authority to administer the oath of office. A notary public or other person with authority to administer oaths may also administer the oath to school board members. The forms of the oath are set out in s. 19.01. The Elections Commission maintains an official oath form (EL-154). Sections 19.01, 120.06(4), 120.06(10), 120.17(10), 120.42(2), and 887.01(1). The official oath shall be in writing and subscribed to and sworn to. The oath does not need to be administered at or in conjunction with a school board meeting. If desired, the oath may be administered orally in addition to the written oath (e.g., during an open session of a school board meeting), but such additional administration should be considered largely ceremonial. Section 19.01.
School Board Members Take Office —
School board members elected at the spring election take office, provided they have taken and filed the official oath, on the fourth Monday in April. Sections 120.06(4) and 120.42(2).
