Bill Summary

Provides that directors of the district school board of the Salem-Keizer School District must be nominated and elected by zone.

AI Summary

This bill amends Oregon law to specifically require that school board directors for the Salem-Keizer School District (which is the school district where the State Capitol is located) be both nominated and elected by geographic zones, rather than at-large. Currently, school districts have flexibility in how they nominate and elect board members, but this bill mandates a zone-based approach for this particular school district. By requiring zone-based nomination and election, the bill ensures that each zone within the school district will have direct representation on the school board, meaning candidates must be from and elected by specific geographic areas within the district. This approach is intended to potentially increase local representation and give voters in different parts of the school district more direct input into who represents their specific area on the school board. The bill makes corresponding modifications to existing Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 332.122 and 332.124 to implement these zone-based nomination and election requirements for the Salem-Keizer School District.
