AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE MANNER IN WHICH
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF GREENWOOD
SCHOOL DISTRICT 50 SHALL BE ELECTED INCLUDING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF NINE SINGLE-MEMBER ELECTION
DISTRICTS FROM WHICH CERTAIN TRUSTEES SHALL BE
ELECTED BEGINNING IN 1994, AND TO PROVIDE THAT
BEGINNING IN 1994, ELECTIONS FOR THESE TRUSTEES SHALL
BE HELD AT THE SAME TIME AS THE GENERAL
ELECTION.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Election of members of board of trustees
SECTION 1. (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Board
of Trustees of Greenwood School District 50 consists of nine members who
must be elected in nonpartisan elections to be held beginning in 1994 at the
same time as the general election in the year specified or required in the
manner hereinafter provided. Based on the implementation schedule
provided in subsection (B), one member of the board must be a resident of
and elected from each of the nine defined single-member election districts
established in Section 2 of this act. Except for initial terms otherwise
provided in subsection (B), members of the board shall be elected for
four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify. In the
event of a vacancy on the board occurring for any reason other than
expiration of a term, the Greenwood County Board of Education shall call a
special election to fill the unexpired term, so long as the vacancy does not
occur within ten months of a regular trustee election. In this case, the
vacancy must be filled for the unexpired term or for a full term as
appropriate at the next regular election.
Each member of the board must be elected by the qualified electors of
the respective district from which the candidate seeks election. All persons
desiring to qualify as a candidate shall file written notice of candidacy with
the county election commission on forms furnished by the commission.
This notice of candidacy must be a sworn statement and must include the
candidate's name, age, residence address, voting precinct, period of
residence in the election district from which election is sought, and other
information as the commission requires. The filing period opens on the first
Tuesday in September at noon to run for two weeks.
The county election commission shall conduct and supervise the
elections for members of the board in the manner governed by the election
laws of this State, mutatis mutandis. The county election commission shall
prepare the necessary ballots, appoint managers for the voting precincts,
and do all things necessary to carry out the elections, including the
counting of ballots and declaring the results. The commission shall publish
notices of the time, polling places, and purpose of the election in a
newspaper of general circulation within the district once a week for at least
two successive weeks before the election. The results of the elections must
be determined by the nonpartisan plurality method as contained in Section
5-15-61 of the 1976 Code. The costs of the elections shall be borne by the
school district.
The members of the board elected in these nonpartisan elections shall
take office one week following certification of their election as provided in
Section 59-19-315 of the 1976 Code.
(B) (1) In 1994, members from Districts 1, 2, and 4 must be elected and
the three current members of the board whose terms are scheduled to expire
on June 30, 1994, shall continue to serve until the members elected in 1994
from Districts 1, 2, and 4 qualify and take office, at which time the terms of
these three current members shall expire. All other current members of the
board shall continue to serve in the manner specified in this subsection.
The initial terms of members elected in 1994 from Districts 1 and 2 shall be
four years each, and the initial term of the member elected in 1994 from
District 4 shall be two years.
(2) In 1996, members from Districts 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 must be
elected and the three current members of the board whose terms are
scheduled to expire on June 30, 1996, and the three current members of the
board whose terms are scheduled to expire on June 30, 1997, shall serve
until the members elected in 1996 from Districts 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 qualify
and take office, at which time the terms of these six current members shall
expire. The initial terms of the members elected in 1996 from Districts 3,
5, 7, and 9 shall be four years each, and the initial terms of the members
elected in 1996 from Districts 6 and 8 shall be two years each.
(3) After the initial election of a member of the board from a
respective election district in the manner specified herein, his successors
shall be elected at the elections conducted at two or four-year intervals
thereafter as appropriate to serve for terms of four years each.
