(2)    In those districts having a total enrollment in all elementary and high schools within the district of three thousand pupils, or more, but less than six thousand pupils, the board of trustees shall consist of seven members;

(3)    In those districts having a total enrollment in all elementary and high schools within the district of six thousand pupils, or more, the board of trustees shall consist of nine members.

Section 8.    Notwithstanding any other provision of law and beginning with the general election of 1980, members of the Board of Trustees of School District Number Five in Anderson County shall be elected in the following manner:

(1)    Two trustees shall be elected at large from the district and the qualified electors of the district.

(2)    Seven members shall be elected from single-member election districts and shall be qualified electors of the election district from which they are elected.

(3)    The single-member districts referred to in (2) above shall be established by the County Board of Education and shall be apportioned so that the population variance among districts shall not exceed ten percent based on the latest official United States census.

(4)    Terms of all members shall be for four years and until their successors are elected and qualify.

The five members presently serving on the board may continue to serve until the expiration of their terms in 1982 if they choose to do so."
