Administer Oath of Office | Elizabeth Chesley
MVM Oath of Office. The following steps are required:
Each current board member needs to take and subscribe to the oath.
The oath must be administered by a person authorized to administer oaths. A notary public is one person authorized to administer oaths, but the law does not require the oath to be administered by a notary. After the initial board has been sworn in, the board chair or another board member may administer the oath to new board members as they join the board.
Each board member should sign the written oath as part of taking and subscribing to it.
The school must maintain a record of each governing board member's oath. The document does not need to be notarized. Keep them with the Conflict of Interest statements you sign each year. The school must provide proof of compliance to the authorizer upon request.
