There shall be a Board of Education consisting
of nine members elected for terms of four years, in accordance with
§ 9-204b of the Connecticut General Statutes, as the same

commencing in the 1995 municipal election, there shall be alternately
elected four members and then five members who shall hold office for

The Board of Education shall have all the powers,
obligations, rights and duties necessary for the operation, maintenance
and supervision of the Meriden educational system or conferred on
it by the Connecticut General Statutes or special acts of the General
Assembly, except as otherwise provided by or inconsistent with this
Charter or any amendment thereto.
