§71.2. Maximum and minimum size of boards; four-year concurrent terms
A. In accomplishing the reapportionment authorized by this Subpart, each of said
school boards may, by majority vote of said board as presently constituted, reestablish itself
with not less than five nor more than fifteen members or the number presently authorized for
that school board, whichever is the greater. Whenever the size of a school board is to be
changed by reapportionment, the school board may submit the proposition of size to the
people.
B. School boards which reapportion under the provisions of this Subpart shall
provide for the election of the members of the board for concurrent terms of four years,
commencing at the earliest election date which does not require a reduction in the term of
an incumbent member, and which will result in terms which coincide with the terms
established by R.S. 17:52. To implement such four-year terms, the board may provide for
shorter initial terms as necessary to result in the election of all members to four-year
concurrent terms.
C. Those school boards which have reapportioned under the provisions of this
Subpart prior to the effective date of this Subsection shall provide for the election of the
members of the board for concurrent terms of four years, commencing at the earliest election
date which does not require a reduction in the term of an incumbent member, and which will
result in terms which coincide with the terms established by R.S. 17:52. To implement such
four-year terms, the board may provide for shorter initial terms as necessary to result in the
election of all members to four-year terms.
D. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A of this Section or any law to the
contrary, in accomplishing the reapportionment authorized by this Subpart, a school board
in a parish with a population of between ninety thousand and one hundred five thousand
persons according to the most recent decennial census shall, by majority vote of the board
as presently constituted, reestablish itself with not less than five nor more than nine
members. Whenever the size of a school board is to be changed by reapportionment, the
school board may submit the proposition of size to the people.
