§ 24862 Director Term Lengths

Key Takeaways

•At the first election after forming, 3 directors from wards and 1 top-voted director serve 4 years, while the other 3 serve 2 years.
•After that, every two years, new directors are elected to serve 4-year terms to replace those whose terms are ending.
•Directors stay in office until their replacements are elected and ready.

Example

A small town just formed a new school board and held its first election.

The top 4 directors (3 from different areas and 1 with the most votes) will work for 4 years, while the next 3 will work for 2 years. Later, every two years, the town will elect new directors to replace those whose time is up, and each new director will serve for 4 years.

Of the directors elected at the first election following the formation election, those three elected by wards and the one elected at large by the highest vote shall hold office for four years, and the other three for two years, and until their successors are elected and qualified. Thereafter, at each biennial general election, a number of directors corresponding to the number whose terms of office expire shall be elected for the term of four years. (Added by Stats. 1955, Ch. 1036.)
