TO AMEND ACT 613 OF 1986, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN RICHLAND COUNTY, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE TRUSTEES OF RICHLAND COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 MUST BE ELECTED FROM SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICTS, AND TO PROVIDE THE MANNER IN WHICH THE SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICTS ARE CREATED.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 3 of Act 613 of 1986 is amended to read:
"Section 3. In Richland School District No. 2, all trustees must be elected from the school district at large. In 1986 and every four years thereafter, successors to the members of the board of School District No. 2 whose terms expire in 1986 must be elected. In 1988 and every four years thereafter, successors to the members of the board of School District No. 2 whose terms expire in 1988 must be elected. Beginning with the 1992 election, in Richland School District 2, one trustee must be elected from each of the seven defined single-member election districts to be established pursuant to Section 2. The seven members must be elected in a nonpartisan election to be conducted at the same time as the 1992 general election for terms of four years each. However, the members elected in 1992 from Districts 1, 3, 5, and 7 serve initial terms of two years each. Their successors must be elected in a nonpartisan election to be conducted at the same time as the general election every two or four years, after that time for terms of four years each."
SECTION 2. The seven defined single-member election districts from which one member of the Board of Trustees must be elected by qualified electors of that district are to be determined by the Richland County Legislative Delegation based upon the 1990 decennial census when available and must comply with the "one man-one vote" concept to ensure equal representation among the single-member election districts.
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
