House Bill 2621 amends the Education Code to provide for the appointment of additional trustees of the Blinn Junior College District's board of trustees. The bill requires the commissioners court of each county in which a district branch campus with a student enrollment greater than 10,000 is located to appoint two members to serve on the district's board of trustees. The bill provides for the members' terms and appointments and specifies that, if an advisory committee for a branch campus has been previously established, the members must be selected from the membership of that advisory committee. The bill authorizes members of the board of trustees so appointed to participate in the decision-making of the board to the same extent as any other member of the board but specifies that members appointed by the commissioners court of a county located outside of the Blinn Junior College District are prohibited from participating in matters related to the imposition of a tax or the distribution of revenue raised from a tax and are prohibited from serving as an officer of the board.
