House Bill 1418 proposes significant changes to the governance structure of the Tenth School District of Wilson County. The bill amends Chapter 330 of the Acts of 1901 by deleting the existing Section 2 and replacing it with new provisions that expand the Board of Education from three to five members. The new structure requires the Tenth School District to be divided into five districts of equal population, with one board member elected from each district by qualified voters. Board members will serve staggered four-year terms, with the odd-numbered districts elected to two-year terms during the transition to maintain staggered elections. Additionally, the bill stipulates that no member may serve more than two terms and outlines the process for filling vacancies on the board.

The bill also establishes eligibility criteria for board members, requiring them to be residents of the district they represent, at least 25 years old, and to have lived in the district for over one year prior to the election. The Board of Education will have the authority to manage the school district's affairs, including the election of teachers and the management of school properties. Importantly, the act will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Wilson County legislative body, with provisions for its immediate effectiveness upon becoming law for the purpose of approval or rejection.
