A JOINT RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR AN ADVISORY REFERENDUM IN OCONEE COUNTY RELATING TO THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION AND THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE COUNTY AND PROVIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS AND REFERENDUM COSTS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Advisory referendum
SECTION 1. The Oconee County Commissioners of Election shall conduct an advisory referendum within the county at the same time as the 1994 primaries for Governor are held so as to determine the wishes of the qualified electors of the county as to (1) whether the Superintendent of Education of Oconee County should be appointed to office by the Board of Trustees of the School District of Oconee County, rather than elected
by the qualified electors of the county as is now the case, and (2) whether the membership of the Board of Trustees of the School District of Oconee County should be changed from nine in number to five in number to be elected from the same five single-member election districts utilized for the Oconee County Council. Ballots must be prepared and distributed to the voting precincts of the county with the following questions printed on the ballot:
"(A) Should the existing method of selecting the Superintendent of Education of Oconee County by election be changed to provide for appointment of that official by the Board of Trustees of the School District of Oconee County?
Place a check or cross mark in the box which expresses your opinion.
(B) Should the membership of the Board of Trustees of the School District of Oconee County be changed from nine in number to five in number to be elected from the same five single-member election districts which are utilized for the Oconee County Council?
Place a check or cross mark in the box which expresses your opinion."
Certification of results
SECTION 2. The Oconee County Commissioners of Election shall certify the results of the advisory referendum to the Oconee County Legislative Delegation.
Costs
SECTION 3. The costs of the advisory referendum provided for in this joint resolution must be paid by Oconee County.
Time effective
SECTION 4. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 16th day of June, 1994.
