Community college board members: absence from the state.

Existing law prohibits a member of the governing board of a school district from being absent from the state for a period of more than 60 days, with specified exceptions, including that the absence may be extended by the governing board of the school district for an additional 30 days in the case of illness or other urgent necessity. This bill would apply these provisions to a member of the board of a community college district, and would additionally authorize the governing board of a school district or a community college district to authorize an absence of an unlimited duration in the case of illness or other urgent necessity.
