The bill H. 3878 aims to amend Act 779 of 1988 concerning the Laurens County School District 55 by reapportioning the seven single-member districts from which members of the Board of Trustees are elected. The bill specifies that beginning with the 2026 school district elections, the election districts will be defined according to a new official map designated as S-59-55-15 S-59-55-25, which will be prepared and filed with the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. This map will delineate the boundaries of the election districts, and a certified copy will be provided to both the school district and the Laurens County Board of Voter Registration and Elections.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that the changes made to the single-member election districts will not affect the overall exterior boundaries of Laurens County School District 55. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor. The bill includes new demographic information related to the reapportioned election districts, ensuring that the electoral representation reflects the current population distribution within the district.
