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 replacing Section 2 entirely, expanding the Board of Education from three to five members. This new structure will require the district to be divided into five areas of equal population, with one board member elected from each district by qualified voters. The board members will serve staggered four-year terms, with the odd-numbered districts elected to two-year terms initially to facilitate the transition. 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 and at least 25 years old. The Board of Education will have the authority to manage the district's schools, including hiring teachers and overseeing school properties. Importantly, the bill 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.
