This resolution mandates that cooperative school boards must elect their representatives exclusively from voters within their respective districts. It also stipulates that any appointments made to fill vacancies in cooperative school boards that are elected at large must be from individuals who reside in the same municipality as the outgoing member. The resolution outlines various methods for the composition and election of cooperative school board members, including the option for single or multi-member districts, while ensuring that all members are elected from their own districts.

Additionally, the resolution specifies the process for filling vacancies on cooperative school boards. If a vacancy arises, it must be filled by remaining board members from the same town or towns as the departed member, or, if necessary, by the town selectmen or the cooperative school district moderator if the board cannot reach a consensus. The appointed member must meet the residency requirements established in the resolution and will serve until the next district election, where voters will elect a replacement for the unexpired term. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
