Currently, elections for school board members are held on either the general municipal election day or a day specified in the county charter. Such offices are for terms ranging from three years to six years, depending on the district.
This bill requires such elections beginning in 2028 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 and that board members of the special school district can serve a four-year term, rather than the current three-year term.
This bill is similar to HB 539 (2025) and HB 2536 (2024).
