Currently, elections for school board members are held on either the general municipal election day or such day as is specified in the county charter. Furthermore, such offices are for terms ranging from three years to six years, depending on the district.
This bill requires such elections to be held at the November general election and makes school board terms two years with no member serving more than eight years total. This bill also requires school board elections to be partisan.
The bill specifies that board members of the special school district can serve a four year term rather than a the current three year term.
This bill is similar to SB 234 (2023).
