ANNOTATION
"Absence" is not the same as "removal". In a proceeding involving school directors and involving "removal" from the district, it is held that "absence" from the district is one thing, "removal" another, and that separate and distinct statutory provisions (this and § 22-31-129) relating thereto cannot both apply to the same case. Harris v. People ex rel. Gonzales, 102 Colo. 496, 81 P.2d 383 (1938) (decided under repealed CSA, C. 146, § 103).
