Gateway Board Requirements

Ahhh… requirements that only a bureaucrat could love.

Statutes say the college’s board must always have at least three women or three men, one minority, one superintendent from an area K-12 school district, one elected official, two people who have the ability to hire and fire at their jobs and two people who are regular employees at their jobs. No one on the board can be a Gateway employee, Whyte said.

Gateway also adds its own additional requirement based on the area it serves, requiring that, excluding the school district superintendent, three of the board members live in Racine County, three live in Kenosha County and two live in Walworth County, Whyte said.
