BY: A. M. EDWARDS, Assistant Attorney General

TO: Mr. Telesfor Sandoval, County Superintendent, Bernalillo, New Mexico.

Removal of School Director From County.

OPINION

{*178} I have your letter of September 18th, in which you state that one of the school directors for District No. 29 of Sandoval County, who has resided at Jemez Springs, moved to Albuquerque last March, and you desire to know whether he can still serve as school director of District No. 29.

Under Sub-section 6 of Section 3956 of the 1915 Compilation, absence from the county for six consecutive months by a school director, vacates his office. If the director whom you mention has left Sandoval County for six consecutive months, his office is vacant and the vacancy can be filled in the manner provided by law.

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
