How should the local districts handle an oath of office?
A written sworn (notarized) oath of office is required for every new appointment or reappointment and must be filed with the district board secretary. Copies do not have to be submitted to the WTCS Board. An oral oath may be used for ceremonial purposes only. Failure to have a written sworn oath could result in a disqualification of the appointee to hold public office and potential impact any actions taken by district board members. 23.
