A small town's school board decides they need more people to help make decisions, so they increase the number of directors from 3 to 5.

The current board has 30 days to pick two temporary directors. At the next big election, the town votes for two more directors. After the election, those two new directors decide between themselves who will serve for 2 years and who will serve for 4 years. After that, every big election, the town will vote for new directors to replace the ones whose terms are ending, and each new director will serve for 4 years.
