(a) It is a ground for removal from the board that a member:
- (1) commits malfeasance of office;
- (2) cannot, because of illness or disability, discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's term; or
- (3) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled board meetings that the member is eligible to attend during a calendar year, unless the absence is excused by majority vote of the board.
- (b) The validity of an action of the board is not affected by the fact that it was taken when a ground for removal of a board member existed.
