AI Summary

This bill makes changes to the election procedures for school board members in Missouri. The key provisions are: - School board member elections will now be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years, instead of on municipal election days. The terms of school board members will be four years, instead of the previous varying terms. - For school districts that were previously on different election schedules, their board member terms will be modified to align with the new four-year terms and even-year election schedule. - The bill repeals and reenacts various sections of Missouri law related to school boards to implement these changes, with an effective date of January 1, 2019. The goal of these changes appears to be standardizing the election procedures and terms for school board members across the state.
