Senate Bill 2974 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 existing legal language to reflect this change, stating that the Board of Trustees will consist of seven members representing seven distinct districts, rather than six members plus one at-large member. Additionally, the bill updates the election process for board members, ensuring that elections align with county general elections occurring in even years.

The bill also introduces specific changes to the terms of certain trustee positions to facilitate this alignment. In 2025, trustee positions two and six will have three-year terms, while in 2027, positions four and seven will also have three-year terms. The county general election in 2028 will see positions one, two, five, and six up for re-election, transitioning to four-year terms thereafter. Similarly, the 2030 election will include positions three, four, and seven, which will also serve four-year terms going forward. The act is designed to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the integrity of the election process within the school district.
