Bill > SB332

This bill modifies the election process and boundary rules for the DeKalb County Board of Education in Georgia. Specifically, the bill stipulates that board members will now only be elected by voters who reside within the boundaries of the DeKalb County school district, ensuring that only residents directly impacted by the school system can vote for board members. Additionally, the bill introduces an exception to existing annexation rules, allowing up to four single-parcel annexations per calendar year that are less than one acre in size to be processed without triggering the standard school district boundary adjustment procedures. The current board members serving at the time of the bill's enactment will continue to serve out their existing terms, with future board members being elected under the new residency-based voting rules. This legislation aims to more closely align school board representation with the direct interests of the school district's residents and provide some flexibility in small-scale property annexations.
