  • For any central high
      school  district  formed  on  or  after  July  first,  nineteen  hundred
      eighty-one, the order of the commissioner establishing such central high
      school district shall specify the number of members  to  constitute  the
      board   of  education  of  such  district  and  the  number  of  members
      representing each of the districts included in such district. The number
      of members of such board shall be not less than five. There shall be  at
      least  one member of such board from each component school district. The
      board of education of each union free school district or central  school
      district  in  such central high school district shall appoint the number
      of persons so designated by the commissioner to represent such  district
      as  members  of  the  board  of education thereof. In each common school
      district having a  sole  trustee,  such  trustee  shall  represent  such
      district  as  a  member  of  the board of education of such central high
      school district. If a common school district has  three  trustees,  such
      board  of  trustees shall designate one of its members to represent such
      district as a  member  of  such  board  of  education.  The  persons  so
      designated  shall  be  members  of the board of education of the central
      high school district during their terms of  office  as  members  of  the
      board  of  education  or  as  trustees  of  the  districts  respectively
      represented by them. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office  of  a
      member  of  the board of education of such central high school district,
      it shall be filled as above provided; except that each component  school
      district  may  choose to fill vacancies from its district on the central
      high school district board by election.
