AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 1010 OF 1968, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE LOCAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COUNCILS IN THE CHESTERFIELD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO AS TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF ADVISORY COUNCILS FROM SEVEN TO FOUR THROUGH CONSOLIDATION OF SPECIFIC ATTENDANCE AREAS, TO PROVIDE UNEXPIRED TERMS OF ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS SERVING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ACT ARE TERMINATED ON THAT DATE AND ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS SUBSEQUENTLY MUST BE APPOINTED BY THE DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION WILL HAVE NO ROLE IN APPOINTING MEMBERS TO THE ADVISORY COUNCILS, TO PROVIDE FOR THE STAGGERING OF ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBER TERMS, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Advisory councils decreased, unexpired terms terminated, appointment by school board rather than delegation

SECTION    1.    Section 7 of Act 1010 of 1968, as last amended by Act 134 of 2007, is further amended to read:

"Section    7.    (A)(1)    Beginning July 1, 2015, there must be four local education advisory councils in the Chesterfield County School District, consisting of one for the Cheraw attendance area; one for the McBee attendance area; one for the Chesterfield High School attendance area, created from the merger of the Chesterfield attendance area and the Ruby attendance area; and one for the Central High School attendance area, created from the merger of the Pageland attendance zone and the Jefferson attendance zone. The unexpired terms of council members serving on the effective date of this subsection are terminated on that date, and council members subsequently must be appointed by the district board of education and the legislative delegation will have no role in appointing members to the advisory boards beginning with the effective date of this section.

(2)    Within one month after the effective date of this act, the board shall appoint members to fill each of the four new advisory councils, designating four members to serve two-year terms and three members to serve four-year terms. Thereafter, successors must be appointed for terms of four years each. All members shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualify.

(B)    Members shall take office on January first after the November election. The councils shall meet and perform such duties as determined by the district board of education. Each council shall elect a chairman, a vice chairman, and a secretary and submit those names to the superintendent."

Time effective

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

Ratified the 28th day of May, 2015.

Approved the 1st day of June, 2015.
