(b) The members of the boards, except in Allegany,
Carroll, Charles, Howard, KENT, 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
nor may any person in any county serve 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, willful neglect of duty, or failure
to attend, without good cause, at least 50 percent of the
board's scheduled meetings, in any one calendar year
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 thereon, together
with a complete record of the proceedings. Vacancies on
