Each person who is elected as a director by virtue of being a parent of one or more children attending DTHS shall automatically be deemed to have resigned and removed from the Board if at any time the director no longer has a child attending DTHS. Candidates for Parent Representative will be nominated by parents of enrolled DTHS students, except that the initial Board may select an incoming parent to fill the first Parent Representative position if it so chooses. For the proceeding Boards, the Board will select the Parent Representative from the nominations put forward. In the event that the Board does not receive any nominations for a Parent Representative, in any year, on or before April 15 of such year, the Board of Directors may appoint a director to fill that seat for the year.
