This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the governing boards of school districts with a student count of at least 250. It introduces new eligibility criteria for candidates seeking election to these boards. Specifically, a person will be ineligible to run if they have served at least eight consecutive years on the board and fewer than four years have passed since their last term. Additionally, it allows individuals who are ineligible due to these term limits to be appointed to fill vacancies on the board.

The bill also ensures that current members of school district governing boards can complete their terms despite the new term limits. It specifies that any governing board member who seeks election after the bill's effective date will be subject to the newly established term limits. Furthermore, it includes a technical change regarding the rotation of candidates' names on ballots and clarifies the election process for filling vacancies.
