(b) The members of the boards, except in Howard, PRINCE GEORGE'S,
Montgomery and Washington counties, shall be appointed from the citizens of the
county by the Governor for overlapping terms of five years from the first day in
July next succeeding their appointment, and they shall hold office until their
successors qualify. The members of the boards shall be appointed solely because of
their character and fitness and without regard to political affiliation, but no person
shall be appointed to a board who is in any way subject to its authority. The State
Superintendent of Schools, by and with the approval of the Governor, may remove
any member of a board appointed under the provisions of this section for
immorality, misconduct in office, incompetency, or willful neglect of duty, giving
to him a copy of the charges against him, and an opportunity of being publicly
heard in person or by counsel, in his own defense, upon not less than ten days'
notice. If any member of the county board shall be so removed, the State
Superintendent of Schools shall file in the office of the clerk of the circuit court for
the county for which the member was appointed, if the member so requests, a
complete statement of all charges made against such member, and his findings
hereon, together with a complete record of the proceedings. Vacancies on any of
the county boards except in Howard, PRINCE GEORGE'S, Montgomery and
Washington counties for any cause shall be filled by the Governor for the
unexpired term and until a successor shall qualify. Any member of a board shall
be eligible for reappointment unless otherwise disqualified by the provisions of this
section; provided however:

(1)  That no person shall be eligible to serve more than two consecutive terms
and
