School Superintendnet Resignation

[Guest NEED HELP]

Recently our school Superintendent submitted his resignation to the school board.

The school board tabled his resignation at a regular meeting.

The Superintendent then resinded his resignation before a vote.

Does the school board still have to act on the motion that was tabled or since it was rescinded can they remove it from the next agenda.

State it happened in is Iowa.

If the board is willing to allow the resignation to be withdrawn, then it should adopt a motion to say so. If not, consult legal advice as to whether the superintendent was within his rights to unilaterally withdraw the resignation.

[J. J.]

As SG points out, the resignation would be withdrawn, not rescinded.

It terms of pure parliamentary procedure, the resignation may be withdrawn with the consent of the majority (p. 284 ff.).

Note that if not withdrawn, the resignation would still need a majority to be accepted (p. 277 ff.).
