1.6 JUDICIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
1.6.1.1 Board of Control. The judicial and administrative authority of this association shall reside in a Board of Control which shall be composed of one representative from each district and one additional representative from each NSAA district whose total grades 9-11 student population exceeds 12,000 students.
Approved ruling 1.6.1.1 The Nebraska School Activities Association was founded upon the doctrine of equality of all school members and equal treatment of all of the students and staff of its member schools. The NSAA school membership presents a diverse population of students and staff to be represented by the district representative on the Board of Control with differences of race, color, national origin, religion, marital status, sex, age, or disability. In selecting the district representative for the Board of Control, school members of each district are encouraged to consider the diversity of the member schools, students, and staff of such district in the context of the representation of such diverse groups as part of the nomination and individualized consideration of each applicant for a position on the Board of Control.
1.6.1.2 Each member of the Board of Control shall be a superintendent of schools, a high school principal, or a supervisor whose duties are primarily administrative and are of such nature to require an administrative and supervisory certificate.
1.6.1.3 Election and term of office. Members of the board of control shall be elected at annual district meetings. The term of office shall be three years and shall commence on August 1 succeeding the date of election. An alternate member of the Board of Control shall be chosen in each district to succeed to membership on the Board of Control in case of a vacancy in the district represented. The alternate member shall serve as the member of the Board of Control of the district represented in all interschool controversies in which the member from that district has a special or a personal interest.
1.6.1.3.1 When an NSAA district's student population dictates that a second Board of Control member be elected, that second board position shall be elected from among qualified candidates from the classification of schools in the district whose grades 9-11 student population represents the greatest student population.
