PRIVATE & SPECIAL LAWS
First Special Session of the 118th

CHAPTER 25
H.P. 608 - L.D. 833

An Act to Amend the Charter of Foxcroft Academy

     Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and

     Whereas, the dissolution of the joint board comprised of representatives of the local school administrative district board and the Trustees of Foxcroft Academy has returned full responsibility for the oversight of Foxcroft Academy to the Trustees of Foxcroft Academy; and

     Whereas, recent initiatives to develop a long-range strategic plan, enhance the academy's educational program and launch an ambitious annual giving and endowment campaign have dramatically increased the workload required of the existing members of the board of trustees; and

     Whereas, it is necessary to expand the membership of the board of trustees as soon as possible to continue to make progress and attract the caliber of board members who are necessary to maintain Foxcroft Academy's strong academic reputation; and

     Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

     Sec. 1. P&SL 1823, c. 185, §2 is amended to read:

     Sect. 2. Trustees may remove any of their number when incapable, &c. and fill vacancies; number and quorum. That said Trustees may, at any time, remove any one of their number, whom they shall adjudge incapable of discharging such trust, and choose additional Trustees, and fill vacancies in said Board, by Ballot: Provided however, That the number of said Trustees shall, at no time, be less than nine, nor more than fifteen twenty-one; and five of whom shall constitute a quorum.

     Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect when approved.

Effective May 15, 1997.
