A JOINT RESOLUTION TO CREATE A COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE FORMATION OF SINGLE-MEMBER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN KERSHAW COUNTY.

Whereas, the members of the Kershaw County School Board of Trustees currently are elected from Kershaw County at large; and

Whereas, litigation has begun regarding this manner of representation on the board; and

Whereas, public input is necessary to determine the opinion of Kershaw County's citizens as to the formation of single-member school districts. Now, therefore,

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

Committee to study single-member school districts

(3) one member of the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce appointed by its president;

(4) one member appointed by a majority of the Kershaw County legislative delegation;

(5) two members of the Kershaw County Black Caucus appointed by its chairman.

Duties

SECTION 2. The committee shall:

(1) organize and elect a chairman at its first meeting;
