Bill > H1169

This bill establishes that the Thomasville City Board of Education (the Board) shall be composed of five members elected to staggered four-year terms starting in 2023. The members will be elected through a nonpartisan plurality method, with candidates filing their notice of candidacy and all qualified voters in the Thomasville City Schools Administrative Unit being eligible to vote. The bill also outlines the implementation of staggered terms, with two members elected to two-year terms and three members elected to four-year terms in 2023, followed by elections for two and three members in alternating four-year cycles. The bill repeals previous laws governing the composition and election of the Board and specifies that the new provisions apply to elections conducted on or after the effective date of the act.
