Amend the bill, as and if amended, Section 2(A)(2)(b), as contained in SECTION 1, beginning on page 1, by striking subitem (B) in its entirety and inserting:
/ (b) Both at-large members elected to the board in 2018 shall be elected to an initial term of two years; however, beginning with the school district elections subsequent to the reapportionment following the 2020 decennial census, candidates for the former at-large seats shall offer for election from separate newly apportioned single member districts, giving the Sumter County School District a total of nine single member districts. Candidates seeking election from the two new single member districts that are elected at-large in 2018 must be residents of the school district and the election districts from which they are elected. Also beginning with the school district elections subsequent to the reapportionment following the 2020 decennial census, the member who received the highest number of at-large votes in 2018 shall serve a four-year term, and the member who received the lowest number of at-large votes in 2018 shall serve another two-year term. In subsequent school district elections, both members elected from the two new single member districts shall serve four-year terms. /
