Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to providing that elections to fill an increased number of seats on a school board will be conducted at the annual meeting after the number of seats was increased
AI Summary
This bill amends education law to clarify when elections will be held to fill newly added seats on a school board. Previously, if a school board decided to increase the number of its members, a special meeting would be called to elect those new members within a specific timeframe after the decision. This bill changes that, stating that any elections for these additional seats will now take place at the next annual meeting, which is the regularly scheduled yearly meeting for school district business, following the meeting where the increase in seats was approved. This aims to streamline the election process by aligning it with existing annual meeting schedules.
