This bill establishes a new framework for the appointment and election of board of education members in certain school districts located in cities of the first class that have adopted a Mayor-Council Plan of government. The board will consist of nine members: three appointed by the mayor, three appointed by a majority of the council, and three elected by the legal voters of the district during the annual school election.
The implementation of this new structure will occur over a three-year period, with one member from each category being appointed or elected each year. Each member will serve a term of three years. The bill aims to create a balanced representation on the board by incorporating both appointed and elected members, thereby enhancing local governance in education.
