House Bill 2989 amends the governance structure of the Gibson County Special School District Board of Trustees by increasing the number of districts from six to seven. The bill modifies the composition of the Board of Trustees, which will now consist of seven members representing seven distinct districts, rather than six members plus one at-large member. Additionally, the bill revises the election process for board members, ensuring that elections align with county general elections occurring in even years.

The new election terms will be staggered to facilitate this alignment, with specific trustee positions designated to serve three-year terms in 2025 and 2027, followed by a transition to four-year terms for all positions starting in 2028 and 2030. The bill also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. This legislative change aims to enhance representation and streamline the election process for the school district's governance.
