 Sec. 311.
    (1) If less than a majority of the offices of school board member of a school district become
 vacant, the remaining school board members shall fill each vacant office by appointment. If a

 appointment. An individual appointed under this subsection serves until a successor is elected
 and qualified.

 subsection applies regardless of whether an individual is appointed under subsection (1) to fill
 the vacancy.

 school district, the secretary of the school board shall notify the school district election
 coordinator, in writing, of the name, address, and office of the person who vacated the office
