Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The concern was raised by one of the local school districts, and I don't have an amendment prepared to proceed with this one but I think that it is something that we need to consider whether or not it's necessary to automatically have the vice-chair move on to the chair's position in those times when the chair resigns. I understand the need for the vice-chair to take the position in the absence, due to an illness or a temporary absence, of a chairperson, but I think what we're looking for is in the position of a resignation. Why couldn't the authority choose?

Mr. Chairman, I think I'll leave it for now and hope that I can get a better explanation tomorrow when we continue consideration of the issue.
