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.
