The parent or legal guardian requirement may also be satisfied by a recent graduate (within the past 5 years) or the parent/guardian of a recent graduate (within the past 3 years) of a school in Orleans Parish operated by that governing board. Each charter school shall be required to fully comply with the requirement of this subparagraph upon the next renewal of the school’s charter contract, and prior to that time shall fill board member vacancies and make new board member appointments with Orleans Parish residents, if the board’s membership is comprised of less than sixty percent (60%) residents of Orleans Parish.
